Inconsistency in IW8W transaction - Refurbishment goods receipt

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a problem which is as follwos:

Refurbishment order (order type PM04) was created for a material with target quantity, say 10 EA.

Due to change in priorities, goods issue (MB1A) for that material was done only for quantity, say 5 EA.

Order was processed and when the material is returned to stores by using IW8W transaction for that refurbishment order after refurbishment, the system automatically proposes the quantity that was entered as target quantity during maintenance order creation (say qty : 10 EA).

To circumvent this problem, I have maintained the over delivery tolerance as 1% in work scheduling view in the material master. I have used T. code MB31 for doing the goods receipt. Still the quantity proposed by the system is the target qty that was entered during order creation. Here the system does not allow more than 1% of the qty proposed by the system (i.e: qty 10 EA).

Automatic proposal of target qty during goods receipt, causes incorrect entries being posted in system, i.e: say if qty 10EA that was automatically proposed is posted system accepts the entry and creates the document.

In material stock overview, the qty of C3 val. type material was reduced by 5 EA; whereas the qty of C2 val. type material was increased by 10 EA.

This is incorrect posting apart from incorrect proposal qty in goods receipt transaction by the system.

There seems to be an error in system design. The system should automatically propose the qty that was issued through goods issue and also should not allow more than the qty issued. Less qty is acceptable. Automatic proposal of target qty is incorrect.

Kindly furnish solution so as to overcome this issue.

Thanks in advance and with best regards.

Hi Shiv,

I faced the same problem in my recent implementation... I have developed a user exit to check the qty issued to order & qty recieved against order.We have considered the inbetween scrap qty too...Std SAP allows posting of different qty..Morever , std SAP allows recieving of refubished parts from refurbishment order even if zero qty of defective parts are issued to order..

Thanks

Hi Shiv,

You have take an abapers help on this.. Ask him to use an exit during order completion.. Before we close the order system should check the material qty planned & issed to PM04 order, compare the same with recieved qty against order, in case of difference system should not allow the complete the order..

Hope this will help.

Thanks

hi kannan

what ever you processed is correct , but have you tried to post the goods receipt ,kindly try in ides , i think eventhough the qty will be proposed by the system , it will allow only the 5 materials you have taken from the stores .just try i will work it out and come back

Hi Thyagarajan, Good Morning,

After doing goods receipt (for whatever qty that was proposed by system, i.e: 10 EA) , when I checked the stock overview of that particular material, the qty's are as follows:

Val. type: C3 - Reduced by 5 EA qty.

Val. type: C2 - Increased by 10 EA qty.

This is incorrect, isn't it?

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Best Regards.

hi kannan

i also checked it is behaving as you said only, i think you can have control by consulting MM perople. since the movment will allow unplanned material.i thnik there will be some settings for the movment type which will not allow unplaned material to be posted.in maintenance order if you check carefully suppose you have made the reservation for 5 material and taken only 2 materials,if you try to post 261 then the system will propse the remaining qty only say 3 materials, whereas if you want to reserve the taken 2 qty, the system will not propose the 2 quantity you can specify whatever qty in this field still the system will accept and post the goods receipt.
