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..

  • Creating inbound delivery without reference to PO - from inbound idoc

    Hi guys,
    I have a scenario wherein I need to create inbound delivery from inbound Idoc from external system without reference of PO. There is no PO created in SAP and this inbound delivery will be used just to receive material (purely for logistic purpose).
    I have identified DELVRY03 or 05 as Idoc type but I am not sure whether system will create inbound delivery without having reference PO. I have two questions here -
    1. Can we create inbound delivery without reference to PO?
    2. If yes, which Idoc type should I use to create such inbound delivery?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Parimal.

    Dear Parimal,
    In standard, An inbound delivery can be created as follows:
    With reference to a purchase order
    With collective processing for several purchase orders
    With reference to a stock transport order
    With reference to a customer return

  • BAPI to create Inbound Delivery without reference

    Hi Folks,
    I'm working for a client who requires a process to create Inbound Deliveries <i><b>without reference</b></i> to a PO. Does anyone know of an existing BAPI that will meet this criteria?
    The fallback position is to look at using a BAPI like BAPI_DELIVERYPROCESSING_EXEC or BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA with a custom document type, but these are less than ideal options.
    Points rewarded for helpful answers.

  • 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.

  • Posting Inbound Delivery Without Reference using IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1

    Hello Experts,
    We have a scenario wherein we are required to post an IDoc into SAP which represents an Inbound Delivery without any reference. We tried using standard FM IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1 with below details to post an IDoc for an Inbound Delivery without any reference-
    Message Type    DESADV
    Basic type      DELVRY07
    However, we are not able to do it. Can you please advise any inputs how this can be achieved?
    Regards

    Have a look into OSS note 666591 - DESADV with text items without material number not postable
    It is actually older and fixes a certain issue, but the solution describes how it is designed. And there is it very clear that in case of material with  material number you need to have a purchase order reference.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Inbound delivery can be created with order reference not any other way.Even if you try to create Inbound delivery automatically through Idoc ,system in backgorund calls the Vl31N transaction so there is no other way .

  • Goods Receive for Outbound Delivery Without Reference using MIGO

    Dear Colleague ...
    We might need your insight on the case below related to Goods Receive of Outbound Delivery without Reference using MIGO:
    (1) In the current SAP Enjoy screen of MIGO, we are allowed to select the reference document (e.g. = PO, Material Document, Inbound Document, Outbound Document, etc.)
    (2) We did 3 (three) kind of test set: GR for Inbound Delivery, GR for Outbound Delivery with STO and GR for Outbound Delivery without reference.
    (3) The first 2 (two) cases work just find with MIGO.  We believe it is because the receiving plant is pretty much determined in the reference document, which is PO (case 1) or STO (case 3)
    (4) However, the last case came up with the error message "Goods receipt not possible for delivery 8000610236: error code 5".  We believe that this is the standard design of SAP, that the receiving plant is required and it is not defined explicitly in the delivery document.
    (5) Moreover, we also believe that that's the reason why SAP (via the Logistic Execution module) provide the Handling Unit and Shipment, which can be used to perform such receive function, which will imply the MM posting (goods issue and goods receive) IF there is stock transfer involved.
    Appreciate for any thoughts or input on the above.  Many thanks,
    Alvon Sibarani

    use transaction mb0a it will work for the scenario.

  • Goods Receipt using Inbound Delivery with reference to Outbound Delivery

    Here is our scenario that we need help finding a solution:
    1.  Multiple Intracompany POs created
    2.  On the confirmations tab of the POs, we have u201CInbound Deliveryu201D Selected because the items need to be received in with Handling Unit management.
    3.  We have the Order Combination box checked on the shipping tab to allow 1 delivery to be created for multiple purchase orders.
    4.  We create only 1 Outbound Delivery for only available items on various purchase orders.
    5.  Due to being handling unit managed, we need to receive the items using an inbound delivery.
    Problem:  We need to find a solution to easily enter an outbound delivery number which will allow us to receive only the parts that were shipped (issued), via the inbound delivery process. 
    If we remove the confirmation control key, we can complete a Goods Receipt for Outbound Delivery in MIGO u2013 but is there a way to complete a goods receipt using an inbound delivery with reference to an Outbound Delivery?
    Thank you for the help.

    Hi,
    You can work with Inbound delivery created via IDOC Triggered from Outbound Delivery, this will carry the HU Data as well. Please refer this wonderful note, which will explain you a lot of things,  Note 1119073 - FAQ: Automatic inbound delivery creation for stock transfers
    There are other notes also available for Inbound delivery creation with HU in STO, please browse the notes, if you find any difficulty.

  • Return Delivery without reference

    Hi all,
    i have one specific query.
    i have matl in my stock ( customer returns). i know the vendor code but i don't know the reference doc no of GR posted for that purchase order. I want to send this matl back to vendor without any reference.
    I can find out this from ME2L but my requirment is that return delivery without reference. i don't want any reference but return delivery should happen.
    plz help as it is very urgent.

    There are types of Returns here:
    1.Vendor returns against original purchase order
    2.Vendor returns through returns purchase order.
    For your requirement you can use the second option:
    1.If the original purchase order reference is not known, then Purchase Department will prepare a u201CReturn Purchase Orderu201D using T. Code ME21N.  Creation of a Return Purchase Order in the system is similar to that of a regular Purchase Order except that the u201CReturns Indicatoru201D has to be ticked for each line item in the PO.
    2.Next a goods receipt will have to be done with reference to the Returns PO. Such Goods receipt and Invoice receipt has an exactly reverse effect than that of a Regular PO.  Goods Movement Type 161 (T. Code MIGO) is used which reduces the material stock from the Inventory & creates Material and Accounting document
    3.If the material is excisable, then Excise Department will create an outgoing Excise Invoice with reference to material document.
    4.Next, Invoice Verification is done for a Return PO which creates a reverse liability in the system and the amount appears as u201Crecoverableu201D from the Vendor.  FI Team will create a Credit Note through MIRO.
    5.If the vendor sends back a substitute delivery after we have returned goods, we can reference the return delivery when we post the goods receipt for substitute items.
