Sales Order Stock batch is not displayed in Outbound Delivery

[former_member445197]

Hi All,

I am in the process of configuring and testing the make-to-order (strategy Group 20) process. The following steps have been completed so far:

• A sales order has been created (VA01)
• Production order is confirmed (CO11N)
• Sales Order Stock (Special Stock indicator E) is available in MMBE
• Confirmed Quantity is 1 in Sales Order 'Schedule Lines' tab
• Outbound Delivery has been created (VL01N)

However, PGI cannot be posted against the Outbound Delivery since the Sales Order Stock batch number (from MMBE) is not displayed when F4 is pressed in the Batch field in VL02N.

Kindly let me know if there are any configurations to be carried out to view Sales Order Stock batches in VL02N / VL01N.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, it looks like standard make-to-order scenario.

You don't need to maintain batch number in the sales order as the batch will be known only after the production is done.

Assuming that your system is setup correctly and that the sales order creates requirements against special sales order stock (special stock type = E). The production order confirmation posts goods receipt to special stock. Then you should be able to put the batch produced in the delivery - you can automate that with batch search strategy. Once you put the batch on the delivery and confirm picking if the delivery is picking relevant, you'll be able to post GI.

HTH, BR

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for the response. You're correct about not having to enter a batch number in the sales order, and I have not tried to do so. The problem is that the batch number is not showing up in the delivery.

I have not activated automatic batch determination in the delivery. Therefore, I have to select the batch number from the list of available batches (by pressing F4). However, when F4 is pressed, the batch number is not shown. So I'm unable to put the batch number in the delivery.

This only happens to batches from special stock (make-to-order scenario). In the make-to-stock scenario, the batch numbers are shown in the delivery when F4 is pressed.

Hope I've explained the issue clearly. Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to share more information, e.g. screen shots of stock overview on special stock level, stock/requirements list, goods receipt from production.

You have a simple scenario that is supposed to work out-of-the-box. If it doesn't something is obviously wrong in your system. We can help, but first you need to help us - get us more information.
