Automatic Delivery Completion Required Indicator to be defaulted to "SET"

Question

Hi Guru's,
My client's requirement is whenever there is a GR posted in the system the system should automatically set the "Delivery Completion indicator" to complete even though there are open items in the purchase order.
The reason is to discourage backorder PO processing and Goods Receipt should be happen only once for a PO.
What we are aware is,
1. I know the PO can be made for the quantity to be received, but that cannot be done since this is a service customer
     and there are mutiple sites where materials can be delivered.
2. we are not using MRP as all are cost objects consumed materials for customer service order or cost center till we go
    to material requirements planning.
3. 'DCI indicator in Mm->Inventory Management -> Plant Parameters or set DCI in SPRO does not solve the purpose, as we
     want the setting to be Always "SET" in the MIGO screen.
4. Manually we can do this by settinng this in MIGO, but it should be automatic as the user may forget to maintain that and
    there will be more GR.
Kindly let me know if you have any ideas around it.
Regards and thanks in advance.

Hi,
Under the IMG path:
Materials Management
-> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory
   -> Goods Receipt
      -> Set "Delivery Completed" Indicator
the flag for the automatic setting of the "delivery completed"
indicator (V_159L_E-XELIK) should be set  for the Site .
The system will  automatically flag the purchase order
item as delivery completed, if the full ordered quantity is
received. If NOt set,
the user has to set the flag manually while receiving the
purchase order item. In MIGO, this is made in the "Purchase Order Data"
tab, when the "Del.Completed" Ind. is set to "2 - Set".
Please, see the note 1093582 in this regard:
"2.  Question
Is it possible to set automatically the ELIKZ during goods receipt?
Answer
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"
Therefore, the system will only flag the indicator automatically if this
has been customized previously.
For STO
Kindly review the attached note 34737 which explain the logic of the
delivery complete indicator for STO.
I hope this helps you
