Copy 2LIS_12_VCITM Extractor

Question

Hi, I need to extract the Inbound Deliveries from Table LIKP.  Is there a way to copy this extract and modify it so that it only extracts the Inbound Deliveries(Type EL)?
Has anyone ever done this before?

Answer 1

Kenneth,
I had the exact same problem with 2LIS_12_VCITM.  It does not extract inbound deliveries.  More specifically, after some diligent debugging, I discovered the section of code in the LIS setup table program RMCVNEUL that causes any deliveries configured (SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Delivery Types) as Document Category '7' (Delivery/shipping notification) or 'g' (Rough Goods Receipt (only IS-Retail)) not to be written to the setup. This is in report RMCVNELV2, function call to 'MCV_STAFO_COMPUTE_DELIVERY', line "CHECK t_likp-vbtyp NA '7g'."
I even contacted SAP via a customer message in Support Portal, and they confirmed for me that indeed 2LIS_12_VCITM does not support these delivery types.  Their only suggestion was to look into the GR-PO related DataSources, such as 2LIS_02_CGR, 2LIS_02_SCN, and 2LIS_02_SGR.  Although these DataSources will not provide the exact fields you will need to extract from LIKP/LIPS, maybe you can use the fact that a delta is triggered on the PO (i.e. if you get a confirmation on the Purchase Order every time an Inbound Delivery is created) and extend these DataSources through the custom enhancement to include your delivery fields?
Hope this helps! 
Sabrina.
