Creation of Inbound delivery mandatory for ASN process in classic scenario?

Dear Experts,
We are going for classic scenario for our green field SRM implementation process. Our client is not using ASN process in their existing MM process. However, they are now looking for an oppurtunity to enable Suppliers to trigger ASN using SUS. In such case, is creation of inbound delivery from Buyer side a mandatory process?
Is the below the process correct?
PO -> ASN (Supplier using SUS) -> Inbound delivery (Optional) -> Goods Receipt (Mandatory) -> Invoicing.
Here, I understand that Goods receipt can be verified against the PO or via Inbound delivery to PO. ASN will inform the store keeper in advance about impending goods receipt and smoothen the confirmation process.
Could you please comment on the above process? Could you please suggest the best practices followed here?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hey Ranjan!,
You are on track.
The process flow you have shown is true. ASN is available as a standard as part of the MM-SUS process. It makes the buyer aware of any delays in delivery or to make arrangements on shipping docks to receive goods on a said date etc.

Nikhil

Choose the Inbound delivery type for STO process

Hey guys,
I am struggling with this process.
For STO process we are going to use SPED output type to create the Inbound delivery automatically after O/B delivery PGI.
The thing is I do not want the I/B Delivery type to be EL. Cause we are using HUM. I want it to be HID.
I can't find where in config I can't set up the system to choose HID rather than EL.
Does anyone have an idea?
Cheers Guys

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. But what you are describing is more for PO (external purchase) not STO.
What I want is to control the I/B delivery type that get created after PGI of the O/B delivery via the output type SPED (special function).
Cheers

List PO pending for creation of Inbound delivery

Dear All,
Please guide is there any standard transaction against which we get a list of Purchase orders which are pending for creation of Inbound delivery.
Though we do monitor the Inbound delivery vide Transaction code VL06I, this transaction is useful only for the Inbounds already created.
S. Kumar

Dear Bijay and Mahesh,
Both the transaction code ME80FN and ME2N gives the list of PO with the relevant confirmation Tab against each item line. It was an useful information. Though the question is still unanswered as my requirement is list of PO's where the confirmation control key maintained but the Inbound delivery yet to be created (i.e. Data with Table EKES - Field VBELN is still blank)

Creation of Inbound delivery without Order acknowledgment

Hi,
We have a scenario where we raise Purchase order to Vendor. The Vendor sent the confirmation (Delivery date, qty, etc) via IDOC. This updates the Order acknowledgement and also the confirmation information in PO.
When the Vendo creates a Outbound delivery in this system, it sends another IDOC which creates a Inbound delivery automatically in my system.
In some cases the confirmation IDoc fails. We want that in such case the Inbound delivery should be created unless we get the correct confirmation.
In other words, system should not create Inbound delivery if order acknowledgement fails.
Is this possible in standard SAP

Hi,
What is the reason for not generating inbound delivery without a confirmation? Wouldn't the business on receiving plant be interested in getting inbound delivery asap, so that they can plan their operations based on the incoming goods details?
I don't think you can control that simply from confirmation control key. There is the 'expected sequence' but it does not stop the process if you proceed without confirmation.
Note that there are lots of other complications if there was such a requirement. What if first item is fully confirmed, but another is not. Would you like to create inbound delivery only for the confirmed item?
And what for Scheduling Agreements? The confirmations/inbound deliveries are at item level only (and not at delivery schedule line). So you don't fully control what quantities were confirmed and which are still 'open' for confirmation.
If you want to apply such a logic, then most probably custom solution at inb. delivery creation would be required.

Creation of Inbound Delivery with reference from PO

Hi,
        I use this FM-BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE for creation of inbound delivery. Delivery date is same Actual GR date means it's working fine. But i give less than or greater than Actual GR date means it shows following error,
          'Acknowledgment for PO item 10028 00010 contains date variance'
    Please tell me how to correct this error.Otherwise tell me correct FM/BAPI to create inbound delivery with reference from PO

Hi Anjaneya,
            My business process is,(In MM side)
     I create one purchase order(me21n) mention Delivery Date is 24.08.2011 and Delivery Qty is 20 etc......And raise the po to vendor.
   In vendor side, check the po details and perform confirmation process i.e creation of inbound delivery using FM BBP_INB_DELIVERY_CREATE. I give the following inputs,
        Import
          IS_INB_DELIVERY_HEADER -DELIV_DATE = 26.08.2011
         Tables
         IT_INB_DELIVERY_DETAIL -MATERIAL = M1
         IT_INB_DELIVERY_DETAIL -DELIV_QTY = 20
        IT_INB_DELIVERY_DETAIL-UNIT = EA
        IT_INB_DELIVERY_DETAIL-PO_NUMBER = 0000010028
         IT_INB_DELIVERY_DETAIL -PO_ITEM = 00010
If run this FM shows the following error
       '      Acknowledgment for PO item 0000010028 00010 contains date variance'
                Please tell me how to correct this error.

How to create a Inbound delivery type for a special purchase order type

Hi,
I try to create a special Inbound delivery type for a special purchase order type (a transfer purchase order).
In SD module, I can créate a special outbound delivery and precise the sale order type, but I don't manage to do it for a Inbound delivery type.
Do you know if i can do it without specifiq?
Regards,
Roselyne

Hi Roselyne,
What you experienced is standard system behavior. Inbound delivery type is uniquely assigned to confirmation control key. You can only specify confirmation control key on item level in PO. The assignment of Delivery type can be seen in the following table:
T163D
IBTYP EBTYP LFART RETDLV
1        AB                      X
2        LA        EL           X
3        GW       EG
The field T163D-IBTYP is checked in different programms. For example in programm RM06ENAB (TA: ME92F). If you insist to customize the determination of delivery type by PO type, I strongly suggest you discuss with the Application consultants before making the modifications to ensure it won't impact other areas.

No delivery type for returns processing assigned to item 00010

Dear all,
I want to create a Return Purchasing Order.
I have got an error: No delivery type for returns processing assigned to item 00010
Please help to to find out problem. What do i have to check?

Hi,
Regarding the error ME392, please check the customizing under
the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Purchasing
   -> Purchase Order
      -> Returns Order
         -> Store Return
Here, for the supplying plant in your Cross-company-code return, you
need to set up a delivery type.
In order to know the supplying plant, please, open the vendor master
data (XK03).
Select the 'Purchasing data' section.
Once you are in the screen SAPMF02K 310 follow the menu path 'Extras' ->
'Add.purchasing data'.
Here you will see the Plant that is linked to your vendor.
So, now, for this Plant, under the IMG path mentioned before,
set a a delivery type for the store return (NCR - Ret.StTranspOrd CC
can be used, for example).
Best Regards,
Arminda Jack

Consignment process in Classic scenario

HI Experts,
can anyone let me know whether we can use consignment process in classic scenario.
we are having SRM 5.0
If it is possible kindly let me know what needs to be done in SRM to set up the same
regards
subbu

Hi Subbhu
Azad is correct.
but you can see this thread but doing enhancement you might achieved .but before comitting to customer you have to do lot of business analysis /business impactsand etc.
See Yorum thread. you must get an idea.
STO classic scenario SRM 4.0
BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW badi helps
you need to change the item category /document type must have consignment
Consignment is items procured on a consignment basis.
Material number is necessary
Account assignments cannot be made for material ordered on consignment.
Goods Receipt is necessary
Invoice receipt not necessary
Consignment stocks are managed separately and are not valuated

Help Rgd. BAPI for Creation of Inbound delivery Document

Hi all,
I need a Bapi to create inbound delivery document without using PO reference. I have seen the below BAPIs. i) BAPI_IBDLV_CREATE_FROM_OBDLV,
ii) BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. I am not sure whether they are for creating inbound delivery document without using PO reference.
It will be of great use if anyone can give me the BAPI for the purpose and the mandatory parameters or sample test data for the BAPI.
Thanks in Advance,
Rakesh.

If you create the inbound delivery->check the purchase order in the tabstrip "Confirmations" on item level. There are three fields: "Confirmation control key", "Order acknowl." and "acknowl. required".
Ckeck if there is a value in "confirmation control key".
You should get the same error if you try to create VL31N in dialog mode, not only by using the bapi.

Creation of inbound delivery without reference to a PO

Dear gurus,
Let's say that a normal inbound flow is something like this:
PO > Create inbound delivery with reference to PO > inbound shipment > Transfer Order > Confirm Transfer Order > Post Goods Receipt > Putaway
Issue:
My client does not want to create the PO because the PO serves no purpose to them. They want the process to start from inbound delivery.
Question:
1. Can a standalone inbound delivery be created WITHOUT reference to a PO ? If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this standalone inbound delivery.
2. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created automatically with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to trigger the creation of this inbound delivery (I'm not looking for the answer of an inbound delivery creation BAPI to being triggered directly after the creation of the Material Document).
3. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created manually with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this inbound delivery.
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
Actually, my intention is not really to create an inbound delivery based on a goods receipt. Since my client is not keen on the idea of creating a PO, I'm actually trying to provide alternatives and workarounds. From what I have gathered, I already know this much
-> An inbound delivery must be created with reference to PO unless Handling Unit Management is activated. If Handling Unit Management is activated, the creation of a Material Document will trigger the creation of an inbound delivery (I havent tested this out yet). Therefore, a PO will not be necessary in this case.
I was kind of expecting answers along this line, unless of course, something better pops up. Maybe someone out there may know something more.
As for Handling Units, I'm not familiar with it. Hopefully somebody can give me a good configuration guideline on what to do in order to activate it so that I can simulate the scenario of a Material Document triggering the creation of an inbound delivery (I'm not looking for the kind of answers which simply cuts and pastes the SAP HELP URL, 4.6C Handling Unit PDF, Best Practice Document and etc). Hopefully somebody out there can really give me a good guideline on how to do this.
Thanks..

So I am unable to create the inbound delivery
Note: this error is coming for a particular vendor only

Hi ,
Goto SM13 .
Find the terminations based on user and creation date.
Get the same analysed by ur ABAP team.
Also check the confirmations in PO at Item level.

Problem with HU during creation of Inbound Delivery using IDoc

Hi,
When I am creating Delivery manually and perform Packing, Handling Unit information is stored in VEKP and VEPO tables.
But when I am processing through IDoc, after passing data to Handling Unit Segments E1EDL37 (Handling unit header), E1EDL39 (Control Segment for Handling Units), E1EDL44 (IDoc: Handling Unit Item - Delivery), It is creating delivery successfully but Handling Unit information is not getting stored in VEKP, VEPO tables.
Tried most of the notes 912470, 678464, 682506 and all of them say "<i>You use the Idoc DESADV to create inbound delivery with packing data. The delivery is created, Idoc gets status 52 but the Handling Units (HUs) are missing. This is due to a program error. In case the IDoc contains segments to create HUs (E1EDL37), the IDoc processing should end in error status (51) as long as no packing data could be created</i>.".
Need your advice whether we have to maintain any customizing for this or how to proceed with it.
Thanks in advance,
Murali.

IDocs and BAPIs sometimes behave differently than transactions. You might need to add a user exit specifically for IDoc processing. Otherwise send a message to SAP and have them look at it.

Auto GR after creation of Inbound delivery

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know if in any case that a confirmartion control key can create a automatic GR. for ex : I have created a PO with some specific confirmation control key. I receive the shipping notification from my vendor and against that ASN i create a inbound delivery. once I save the delivery in background automatic GR needs to happen.
Is this possible in standard or we need to do any development. Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Karthik,
The problem was that I was not being able to view the field for 'Automatic GR', although at table level ( T163L) the existance of the field was there ( field : ASN_INBOUND_AUTO). When I tried to look the table T163L in view mode i.e. V_T163L I found DIMP_GENERAL is indicated on 'Switch' column. This effectively meaning that I have to Switch on DIMP_GENERAL functionality to see these fields.
In standard SAP it doesn't come up as it is. In your case, someone has already switched DIMP_GENERAL in advance, therefore, you feel the field for 'Automatic GR' comes as standard field.
However, the problem is resolved.
