Dear VS,
Defaulting Delivery Completed indicator:
Materials Management -> Inventory management and Physical Inventory -> Goods Receipt -> Set Delivery Completed Indicatory.
The 'delivery complete' indicator specifies whether a purchase order item is considered closed.
This means that no more goods receipts are EXPECTED for this item.
If the delivery complete indicator is set, the open purchase order quantity becomes zero, even if the full quantity has not been delivered.
It is still possible to post goods receipts of remaining quantities, but these no longer change the open purchase order quantity.
the delivery completed indicator for goods receipts if the delivered quantity lies within the under/overdelivery tolerance.                 
                                                         The "delivery completed" indicator has the following effects:          
o   The item is regarded as closed, even if the total quantity was not delivered.           
o   A further delivery is not expected, may, however, arrive.          
o   In the next goods receipt, the item appears on the selection list but has no selection indicator.
o   The item can be reorganized even if the total quantity has not been delivered.  
Note:                                                    Even if the "delivery completed" indicator has not been set, an item is considered closed once the total quantity has been delivered. This means that the "delivery completed" indicator is not necessary in this case. 
Hope this will help.

Naveen.
