Delivery Completed indicator is automatically set in MB31

Dear SAP Gurus,
I have an issue for which I need you help.
In my scenario, we are manufacturing co-products. The actual produced qty of each of the co-products may vary from the ratio which is specified in the BOM. Hence, I have set the "unlimited overdelivery allowed" indicator in WS view for all my co-products.
Further, the process order is created for the entire month. Comfirmations are carried out on a day-to-day basis.
The system works perfectly till around 25th of the month. While doing GR in MB31for 26th of the month, I face a peculiar problem.
For one of the co-products, the received qty exceeds the order qty. Since "unlimited overdelivery allowed" indicator has been set in the Material Master for this co-product, the system allows me to post the excess GR qty. This is fine. However, it is setting the Delivery Completed Indicator on its own. I then manually remove the indicator and post the GR document. But the system still sets the delivery completed indicator for the co-product item on its own in the Process order.
Even if I remove the indicator in the Process order, the system doesn't propose the co-product item while doing GR from 27th onwards.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks!
Nitin

Hi Hiren
Thanks for the reply.
If I make the change as suggested by you, then the GR from Purchase orders would also be affected.
Is it possible to control the setting of this indicator on a movement type level? If this is so, then I can create a new movt type and use it for production GR .
Please revert.
Regards,
Ntiin

       You have set the "delivery completed" indicator for a stock transfer  item.
    system Response
       You can only set the "delivery completed" indicator in stock transfer  items if
       o   the sum of the goods issue quantities in the supplying plant equal  the sum of the goods receipt    quantities in the receiving plant.
       o   the sum of the delivery note quantities is equal to the sum of the goods receipt quantities.

    I dont think you need to set "delivery completed" indicatory while returning from one plant to another.
    For example : You ordered 100 qty. and you are receving only 80 Qty. and you don't expect any receipts anymore. in this case you want to close the open purchase order with delivery completed indicator.
    But while returning to vendor or to another plant you are not referring the P.O directly and hence you dont need "delivery completed indicator'

  • Delivery completed indicator is not tick on generic article

    Hello Expert,
    I create a normal purchase order with  generic article and variants.
    Then, I do goods receipt with full quantity.
    Delivery completed indicator is automatic set 'X' on variant items.
    But with generic article, Delivery completed indicator is not set 'X'.
    Do I miss any configuration ?
    Please help me !
    Regards,
    Minh

    Hi Minh,
    as far as I know, this is a normal system behaviour and not an error or missing configuration.
    The generic article in the goods receipt has a statistical character. No goods receipt can take place for the generic article. The goods receipt only takes place for the variants of the generic article and so the delivery completed indicator only gets set for the variants and not for the generic article.
    Hope it helps.

  • GR after "Delivery Completed" Indicator was Set and Automatic PO Closing

    Hi All!
    In our system, we can still post goods receipts even if the "Delivery Completed" indicator was already set in the PO. Is there something we need to configure so as not to allow goods receiving for such POs?
    Also, can we set the PO to close automatically after reaching its "Validity End"?
    Please we would appreciate any suggestion for this issues.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    The Solution is to
    <b>Reduce the PO quantity</b> or <b>the block the item on the PO</b> to prevent any further GR's.
    Block the purchase order item.
    (ME22N: Block pushbutton; ME22 Menu -> Edit -> Block)
    Fill the date field for the 'Latest Possible Goods
    Receipt' (LEWED) in the purchase order item. If you do
    this and you enter a GR document after this date, the
    system issues message M7163, which you must set as an
    error message in Customizing.

  • Delivery completed indicator for STO cannot be set!

    Dear colleagues,
    There are number of STO’s those goods issue quantity > quantity of goods received. Because of this delivery completed indicator cannot be set due to message “06 848 - Delivery completed indicator cannot be set for item XXXXX”.
    There is an OSS note (167795) that allows to set delivery completed indicator for such purchase orders. Even though our SAP release is 6.04, report RM06EV70 does not exist (yet BADI ME_ARCHIVE_ACTIVE is active) in the system and OSS note cannot be implemented.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Melih
    PS. Please do not provide answers like “the goods receipt must be first posted via the entire goods issue quantity; then you can post a scrapping via the shortfall quantity” since there are backdated STO’s.

    Hi,
    Find STO created for which plant in t.code:ME23N and check MRP parameter maintained for that plant in t.code:OPPQ( also check entry of that plant in t.code: OMCD).
    Also cross check which Field Selection Key assigned to your STO PO document type and check “Delivery completed" indicator” available as Optional entry in GR/IR control segment in your Field Selection Key.

  • "Delivery Completed" Indicator in Goods Receipt

    Hi,
    While doing GR, we want to check the "Delivery Completed" on the Goods Receipt Screen if we are expecting no future receipt against the Purchase Order.
    Currently we are not able to check the Delivery Completed Indicator as it is not in editable mode.
    Is there any issue if we enable the Check Box on Goods Receipt Screen. If no, how can we enable the Check Box.
    Please guide.
    Regards,

    Hi
    This is handled by the system automatically. you can change only in purchase order.
    Refer SAP note 1093582 for more info
    About delivery completed indicator functionality
    The purchase order item is considered closed, even though the total
    quantity may not have been delivered.
    o Although a further delivery is not expected, it is still possible.
    o At the time of the next goods receipt, the system suggests the item
    as unselected.
    o The purchase order item can be deleted, even if the total quantity
    was not delivered.
    Although the "delivery completed" indicator is not set, a purchase order
    item is still considered closed if the full quantity has been delivered. In
    this case, the "delivery completed indicator" is not required.
    In Customizing for Inventory Management/Goods Receipt/Set Delivery
    Completed Indicator, you can define at plant level that the "delivery
    completed indicator" is set automatically in the order if:
    o the total quantity was delivered
    o the underdelivery or overdelivery lies within the tolerances
    Hope it helps

  • P.O. Delivery Complete Indicator

    Hi,
    We have purchase orders that are not getting the delivery complete indicator checked off when the GR comes in. 
    Does anyone know of a program that can go out and look for any PO's that should have the delivery complete indicator checked and automatically check this field.
    Regards,
    Vicki Smith

    Together with the customizing where the Delivery Complete indicator is set automatically, you should also make sure that your Over-and Under-delivery tolerences are "reasonable".  The delivery complete indicator works automatically in 2 scenarios:
    1 - You order 100, and you receive 100.  Therefor, it makes sense to the system that the order quantity was delivered in full and thus set the Delivery Complete indicator automatically when performing the Goods Receipt.
    Overdelivery Tolerance = 5%
    Underdelivery Tolerance = 10%
    2 - You order 100, and you receive 91.  This is within the acceptable Underdelivery tolerance and therefor the system sets the Delivery Complete indicator automatically upon Goods Receipt.  If the goods receipt quantity was below 90, the indicator would not have been set automatically and you should set it manually in your Goods Receipt transaction, or the system will regard this Purchase Order to still be open.
    Over- and Underdelivery tolerances can be defined in your Purchasing Value keys customizing.  It can also be changed in the Info Records.
    Hope this helps

  • Prevent GR with the delivery complete indicator set in the purchase order

    Dear friends,
    During GR reference to PO, if goods are received partially and the delivery complete indicator is set, the PO line item is deemed to be closed.
    However, if reference is made again to the same PO line item, GR can still be done to the item that delivery complete indicator was set.(due to there is still quantity to be received)
    Is there anyway, we could prevent reference to be made to a PO line item that has delivery complete indicator set?
    Thank you.
    Regards.

    it is by design that you still can receive material.
    See SAPs explanation here:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63343943a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    The delivery complete indicator only reduces the commitment values to zero.
    If you want restrict further good receipts, then you have to reduce PO quantity to equal the received quantity and must not allow overdelvivery. Further you can enter a latest GR date, which will not allow receipt beyond this date.
    Locking the item will as well prevent further actions, but this should only be a short term solution, because the PO will still be considered in MRP runs and will never treated as beeing closed. And you will not be able to archive such POs

  • Mass setting of delivery completed indicator

    Hi,
    The delivery completed indictor has not been set as a mandatory field in SPRO settings for one of the Plants.
    Now,is there any transaction code or, program which can be used to set the delivery completed indicator in that Plant when the PO qty. becomes equal to the GR qty.
    Please advise,
    Thanks,
    Kaveri

    Hi Kaveri,
    You could set the plant's material masters to a purchasing value key that has an under-delivery tolerance of 0%.  This setting only affects the plant that uses these materials.  Next, you can do the same for text purchase items by material group in the IMG path: Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Material Master -> Entry Aids for Items Without a Material Master.  This would affect all plants in the same client.
    What this will cause to happen, is at GR the DCI will be checked when the GR quantity equals the PR quantity and not before.
    Just another way you could do it if it suits your business process and you only want the DCI if the quantities are equal.

  • Delivery complete indicator set by partial goods receipt in kanban orders

    HI Experts,
    we recently upgraded to ECC 6 DIMP EP 6. Now for kanban production orders delivery complete indicator is set for partial goods receipt. Under delivery tolerance is zero. Is there any notes available for this issue. Manual production order goods receipt is fine.
    THanks
    RIjil

    Hi,
    Let me try and understand your scenario better. You have a production order triggered by KANBAN. You then do a GR via inventory management of a partial quantity. Would you then GR the remaining quantity?
    The reason I ask is because this is KANBAN production, the bin being filled multiple times for the same trigger does not sound right. The system behavior of not expecting further deliveries (by setting delivery complete) seems appropriate.

  • No create Plant button at the Set "Delivery Completed" Indicator" config

    Dear Gurus,
    I would like to do the configuration to set the Delivery Completed indicator. Therefore, I went to the following menupath:
    SPRO -> Materials Management -> Inventory Management and Physical inventory -> Goods Receipt -> Set "Delivery Completed" Indicator"
    The problem is, I can't find the button to add Plants. Is there even one in the first place ? If yes, where is it ? If no, why not ?
    Currently, the only Plant that I can see over here is 0001 - Plant 0001. The delivery completed checkbox is ticked.
    Please take note that all the Plants have been setup and the system has Gone Live.
