Delivery without inventory

Hi Gurus,
Can anyboidy please let me know what do i need to check and where do i check to make sure that the system does not allow us to even create a delivery when there is no inventory. The delivery that i'm referring is whether against a STO when one plant is supplying stock to another plant or when we create deliveries against sales orders
Thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
For no Delivery when there is no Inventory, it is a two step configuration.
A. When a delivery is created, the system normally performs an availability check. In most businesses, availability checks for deliveries are set up so as not to confirm when inadequate inventory is available. To perform this configuration, set up your availability check. There are a number of generic steps to configure ATP (Available To Promise), I will assume that you have performed these already, and your ATP is already working for Sales orders. For Deliveries, use txn OVZ9. Find the Availability Checking group(s) for your material (you can look this up in the Material Master(s) of the parts in question). Scan down until you find checking rule 'B' which is the rule for deliveries (including STO deliveries). Select and look for details. Normally, you will select 'check without replenishment lead time'. You may optionally want to include safety stock, quality inspection stock, or restricted use stock, depending on your company's policies. For requirements, check 'include deliveries'. Checking other requirements types (such as sales requmnts) may prevent you from creating ANY deliveries, probably best to go with just deliveries. Do not include future receipts (such as purchase orders, production orders, etc), checking these may allow you to create a delivery when there is no stock in place..
B. Now you have configured your deliveries so that they will not confirm any quantities when the ATP is done when there is no stock. Once the ATP check has yielded a quantity of zero, you also say you want no delivery to be created. Configure this in OVLP. For each item category you will be using, ensure that you select under 'check quantity 0" select 'B Situation rejected with an error message", Also ensure that 'Availckoff' is unchecked. This configuration will yield an error message whenever an attempt is made to create a delivery with zero confirmed, and will not allow the document to be created or changed.

HU without inventory management and message L3778 in storage type 999

Hi experts,
Need suggestion on the process to add inventory of an HU with status 'HU without inventory Management'. This issue has occurred out of the below scenario:
1. our warehouse is HU & WM managed.
2. We have a transfer order for a delivery document requesting to pick up 100 cases of MAT1 which is assigned to HU1.
3. While confirming the transfer order user has confirmed difference for the full quantity of 100 because the SU/HU was not found in the bin.
4. The system has set the status of HU as 'HU without inventory Management'. The HU is empty.
5. system has moved the stock from the bin to difference storage type 999.
Now user has found the stock for this HU and he wants to post the stock back into the bin. system does not allow to move the stock back to bin using LT01 as we get error message 'L3 778'.
What will be the best practice to get the stock back into the bin and post the stock into the same old HU.
Is there a process wherein we can post this stock to another bin and repack into the old HU?
Thanks,
Harish

Thanks Manish on the hint. I was able to transfer stock to partner location and then bring back to original Storage type/Bin. Below steps was used to fixed the issue:
1. Initiate a transfer of stock from WM/HU Sloc where the IM stock resides into Sloc 9099. An outbound delivery is created during this process.
2. Create a transfer order with reference to delivery and pick the stock from 999 storage type.
3. Create a Pick HU using LH01 and assign the HU on the pallet to the transfer order.
4. Confirm the transfer order using LT12.
5. Perform PGI for the delivery.
6. Use HUMO to display the HU and then you can transfer the stock back to WM/HU location using the storage location transfer option available on the HUMO screen(EDIT à change HU posting à Storage location)
7. Perform Bin to bin transfer to move the SU from 921 storage type to putaway the HU/SU back to the destined Storage type/Bin.
Best Regards,
Harish

Handling unit without inventory management

Hi Experts,
In our scenario, we have Goods reciept from production into Storage location 1000 which is IM managed, Later the stocks are transfer posted into storgae location 1100 which is HU/WM managed. Now in 1100 i have found HU's which have been created with status 'Handling unit without Inventory management'.
Can someone explain to me what does it mean when a HU gets created with this status? under which scenario does the system create the HU with this status?
Also when this HU is scanned for putaway the system gives error message Handling unit does not exist in SAP. Can someone let me know the resolution or the root cause for this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Harish

Hi,
The above mentioned status is when a Handling Unit created, but the Inventory management is not yet posted for the content materials of the HU
I can give an example: Created a Inbound Delivery for material XXX. Then a HU is created in Packing screen, but the PGR is not yet done. At this stage, HU has the same status
Hope this helps
If the GR/GI is reported for HU contents, then the HU status will change. With you case, a Handling Unit is just created, but no further tansaction like, packing, GI or GR is done.

Return Delivery without reference

Hi all,
i have one specific query.
i have matl in my stock ( customer returns). i know the vendor code but i don't know the reference doc no of GR posted for that purchase order. I want to send this matl back to vendor without any reference.
I can find out this from ME2L but my requirment is that return delivery without reference. i don't want any reference but return delivery should happen.
plz help as it is very urgent.

There are types of Returns here:
1.Vendor returns against original purchase order
2.Vendor returns through returns purchase order.
For your requirement you can use the second option:
1.If the original purchase order reference is not known, then Purchase Department will prepare a u201CReturn Purchase Orderu201D using T. Code ME21N. Creation of a Return Purchase Order in the system is similar to that of a regular Purchase Order except that the u201CReturns Indicatoru201D has to be ticked for each line item in the PO.
2.Next a goods receipt will have to be done with reference to the Returns PO. Such Goods receipt and Invoice receipt has an exactly reverse effect than that of a Regular PO. Goods Movement Type 161 (T. Code MIGO) is used which reduces the material stock from the Inventory & creates Material and Accounting document
3.If the material is excisable, then Excise Department will create an outgoing Excise Invoice with reference to material document.
4.Next, Invoice Verification is done for a Return PO which creates a reverse liability in the system and the amount appears as u201Crecoverableu201D from the Vendor. FI Team will create a Credit Note through MIRO.
5.If the vendor sends back a substitute delivery after we have returned goods, we can reference the return delivery when we post the goods receipt for substitute items.

Cannot Create Delivery without RLT

Dear All
I do not want to create Delivery unless inventory is available. So I have controlled it through Checking rule B, doing it without RLT. But Cheking rule A in Sales Order is with RLT so that I can confirm Customers Order.
I have a strange Scenario.
My Stock is 60. Sales oreder created for Today is 5 qty, so Confirmed Schedule line.
Sales order with Schedule line date 31.12.2008 is 200 qty. So this is confirmed after end Lead time.
But When I create Delivery it does not let me beacsue 60 stock available is now booked for Sales order 31.12.2008.
I know the reason that in Delivery creation RLT is not taken into consideration.
But How this situation should be handled. If I do delievry ATP check with RLT then there are chances that Delivery may be created without stock.
Experts opinions are invited.
Regards,
Neeraj Srivastava

Hi christine,
You can create delivery with quantity 0. But you need to customize at the delivery item category level. Once you complete this customizing system will allow you to create delivery with qty 0.
If you would like to have the do the PGI, when the stock is available, then you need to configure Availabilty check at shipping level. Once you run the availabiltiy check in VL02N transaction, based on the ATP calculation, system will confirm the qty.

Goods Receive for Outbound Delivery Without Reference using MIGO

Dear Colleague ...
We might need your insight on the case below related to Goods Receive of Outbound Delivery without Reference using MIGO:
(1) In the current SAP Enjoy screen of MIGO, we are allowed to select the reference document (e.g. = PO, Material Document, Inbound Document, Outbound Document, etc.)
(2) We did 3 (three) kind of test set: GR for Inbound Delivery, GR for Outbound Delivery with STO and GR for Outbound Delivery without reference.
(3) The first 2 (two) cases work just find with MIGO. We believe it is because the receiving plant is pretty much determined in the reference document, which is PO (case 1) or STO (case 3)
(4) However, the last case came up with the error message "Goods receipt not possible for delivery 8000610236: error code 5". We believe that this is the standard design of SAP, that the receiving plant is required and it is not defined explicitly in the delivery document.
(5) Moreover, we also believe that that's the reason why SAP (via the Logistic Execution module) provide the Handling Unit and Shipment, which can be used to perform such receive function, which will imply the MM posting (goods issue and goods receive) IF there is stock transfer involved.
Appreciate for any thoughts or input on the above. Many thanks,
Alvon Sibarani

use transaction mb0a it will work for the scenario.

Delivery without reference.

Hello friends,
We are writing a small ABAP program to create PO for calling back damaged materials from warehouse back to production plant.
Then, there was a suggestion, as to why a PO is needed. When we are creating them programmatically, why not create Delivery-without-reference directly instead of creating PO.
I would like to know your views about advantages or dis-advantages of this suggestion in our above scenario. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
When you say "warehouse" do you mean another plant or do you mean a WM type warehouse?
If the warehouse is another plant then why not just use a 301 movement to transfer the stock back (or a two step movement if you want a goods issue and a receipt)?
Or do you want to produce an SD type delivery document?

Creation of Inbound delivery without Order acknowledgment

Hi,
We have a scenario where we raise Purchase order to Vendor. The Vendor sent the confirmation (Delivery date, qty, etc) via IDOC. This updates the Order acknowledgement and also the confirmation information in PO.
When the Vendo creates a Outbound delivery in this system, it sends another IDOC which creates a Inbound delivery automatically in my system.
In some cases the confirmation IDoc fails. We want that in such case the Inbound delivery should be created unless we get the correct confirmation.
In other words, system should not create Inbound delivery if order acknowledgement fails.
Is this possible in standard SAP

Hi,
What is the reason for not generating inbound delivery without a confirmation? Wouldn't the business on receiving plant be interested in getting inbound delivery asap, so that they can plan their operations based on the incoming goods details?
I don't think you can control that simply from confirmation control key. There is the 'expected sequence' but it does not stop the process if you proceed without confirmation.
Note that there are lots of other complications if there was such a requirement. What if first item is fully confirmed, but another is not. Would you like to create inbound delivery only for the confirmed item?
And what for Scheduling Agreements? The confirmations/inbound deliveries are at item level only (and not at delivery schedule line). So you don't fully control what quantities were confirmed and which are still 'open' for confirmation.
If you want to apply such a logic, then most probably custom solution at inb. delivery creation would be required.

Add Item to a delivery without reference to a sales order

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to add an item to an existing delivery via VL02n without reference to a sales order but every time the following error message appears: "You cannot add this item to the delivery".
What settings do i need in order to that? (material type, delivery type, item category group,..etc..)
Could anyone help me?
Thank for your attention.
Regards,
A.

Hi!
Its not feasible to add a new line item without reference, becuase in one of the user exits such a code would have been written to prevent adding line item without refernec.
This is done to ensure that a standard availabilty check, pricing and infostructure updates are done. Otherwise, after billing the report of Profitabilty will not come correct and will lead to more problems.
So my suggestion would be not to add the line item withour referencing to the sales order.
SAP provides the way of unreferincing through a seperate delivery type called LO. So if you want to create a delivery without refernce, you can use delivery type LO or some Z version of it.
Hope this helps,
Abhishek

Creating inbound delivery without reference to PO - from inbound idoc

Hi guys,
I have a scenario wherein I need to create inbound delivery from inbound Idoc from external system without reference of PO. There is no PO created in SAP and this inbound delivery will be used just to receive material (purely for logistic purpose).
I have identified DELVRY03 or 05 as Idoc type but I am not sure whether system will create inbound delivery without having reference PO. I have two questions here -
1. Can we create inbound delivery without reference to PO?
2. If yes, which Idoc type should I use to create such inbound delivery?
Please help.
Thanks,
Parimal.

Dear Parimal,
In standard, An inbound delivery can be created as follows:
With reference to a purchase order
With collective processing for several purchase orders
With reference to a stock transport order
With reference to a customer return

Posting Inbound Delivery Without Reference using IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario wherein we are required to post an IDoc into SAP which represents an Inbound Delivery without any reference. We tried using standard FM IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1 with below details to post an IDoc for an Inbound Delivery without any reference-
Message Type DESADV
Basic type DELVRY07
However, we are not able to do it. Can you please advise any inputs how this can be achieved?
Regards

Have a look into OSS note 666591 - DESADV with text items without material number not postable
It is actually older and fixes a certain issue, but the solution describes how it is designed. And there is it very clear that in case of material with material number you need to have a purchase order reference.

BAPI to create Inbound Delivery without reference

Hi Folks,
I'm working for a client who requires a process to create Inbound Deliveries <i><b>without reference</b></i> to a PO. Does anyone know of an existing BAPI that will meet this criteria?
The fallback position is to look at using a BAPI like BAPI_DELIVERYPROCESSING_EXEC or BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA with a custom document type, but these are less than ideal options.
Points rewarded for helpful answers.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi!

Usage of delivery without reference to sales order

Hi ,
I want to know in which business scenarios we will create the delivery document without reference by usiing VL01NO followed by billing document.
Anticipating a positive response

Hello Sachin,
I want to make a delivery without ref to sales order. But I want to block it after saving it. How to do that ?
Use TCode VL02NO
Can I assign a block at schedule line category level. Will that block the delivery ? Will this be an item block if this is possible !
Delivery block at schedule line category level will not block deliver doc, whereas, it will not allow you to create delivery doc with reference to that sales order with delivery block.
Now for your requirement, to block a delivery doc for further processing. Maintain or select appropriate Reason for Rejection in Delivery Doc Item.

How movement type will be determined in Delivery without reference order

hi gurus,
i want to know what movement type will be determined in delivery type LO(Without reference of order) . i think in a normal delivery with referance to sales order movement type will be taken from the sales order schedule lines. Incase of delivery without referencing an order whether system will use any movement type? if yes what movement type and from where the movement type will be picked up?

When you create a delivery without referring to a preceding document, the system copies the following data into the document from the appropriate master records:
Data from the customer master record of the ship-to party
Data from the material master records of the delivery items
normally schedulelines are determined by item category mrp type and schedule line.
so it is determined by mrp type of the material
