Goods return against maintenance work order exceeds goods issue

Question

Is there a way to prevent returning more quantity (262 movement type done within MB1A) than was issued (261 movement type done within MIGO_GI) against a maintenance work order component?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Hi,
Movement Types 261 and 262 works in Planned as well as in Unplanned both ways.
If you do Goods Issue w.r.t. Maintenance/Work Order (Movement Type - 261) then components and their quantity get defaulted from the reservation created automatically during order creation and system does not allow us to issue more that the quantity in reservation.
Similarly when you cancel the Goods Issue Document then it hits Movement Type 262 automatically and does not allow to edit the quantity.
The above two processes are planned ways.
Now when you want to do extra consumption of components against Maintenance/Work Order then you do not do Goods Issue > Order, instead of this you do Goods Issue > Others and then specify all the necessary details manually (Like; material, quantity, etc...) and enter Maintenance/Work Order as an Account Assignment on which the cost is getting loaded.
Similarly when you are receiving materials from Maintenance/Work Order using option Goods Receipt > Others then here also there is no control and you can receive any quantity from Maintenance/Work Order since here also Maintenance/Work Order is working as an account assignment not a control document.
The above two processes are unplanned ways.
So in short, there is not any control on this movement when it is unplanned.
