Inbound Deliveries without reference configuration

All, currently we are creating outbound deliveries (VL01N and VL01NO) to transit materials to our offshore plants, we now have a requirement to switch on inbound deliveries in MM but be visible in RLM. the inbound deliveries we want to create will be similar to VL01NO (Without Reference), i have read a number of postings where the responce is to create a return PO! we don't want to be tied to creating return PO's but do a material transfer and have this visible on our shipment summary in RLM. has anyone got any suggestions on the required configuration for inbound deliveries for RLM?
Thanks!

Hi,
I dont know whether there is any report for this requirement.
However, you can restrict if the item should be added without reference or not in OVLK, select your delivery type and select 201 requirement in the field item requirement.
System will not allow you to enter / add any item that does not refer to sales order.
Hope you get some inputs
regards,
Sagar

Inbound delivery without reference

Hi all,,
we have a scenario, where we need to transfer goods from IM storage location to EWM location. For EWM we need to have inbound delivery to get processed. is there any way we can create an inbound delivery without reference or with refrence to stock transfer.
Thanks all

Check the configuration to crete delivery
SPRO>Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>Basics>Materials Management>Inventory Management>HU Requirement for Storage Locations and Default Values for Deliveries
Activate storage location then it will create the delivery

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.

Hi!
I can't seem to find a working example using this function modules. I want to create an inbound delivery without reference to a PO.
Thanks!

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

What is the BAPI for creating an inbound delivery without reference.

Creation of inbound delivery without reference to a PO

Dear gurus,
Let's say that a normal inbound flow is something like this:
PO > Create inbound delivery with reference to PO > inbound shipment > Transfer Order > Confirm Transfer Order > Post Goods Receipt > Putaway
Issue:
My client does not want to create the PO because the PO serves no purpose to them. They want the process to start from inbound delivery.
Question:
1. Can a standalone inbound delivery be created WITHOUT reference to a PO ? If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this standalone inbound delivery.
2. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created automatically with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to trigger the creation of this inbound delivery (I'm not looking for the answer of an inbound delivery creation BAPI to being triggered directly after the creation of the Material Document).
3. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created manually with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this inbound delivery.
Thanks.

Hi Peter,
Actually, my intention is not really to create an inbound delivery based on a goods receipt. Since my client is not keen on the idea of creating a PO, I'm actually trying to provide alternatives and workarounds. From what I have gathered, I already know this much
-> An inbound delivery must be created with reference to PO unless Handling Unit Management is activated. If Handling Unit Management is activated, the creation of a Material Document will trigger the creation of an inbound delivery (I havent tested this out yet). Therefore, a PO will not be necessary in this case.
I was kind of expecting answers along this line, unless of course, something better pops up. Maybe someone out there may know something more.
As for Handling Units, I'm not familiar with it. Hopefully somebody can give me a good configuration guideline on what to do in order to activate it so that I can simulate the scenario of a Material Document triggering the creation of an inbound delivery (I'm not looking for the kind of answers which simply cuts and pastes the SAP HELP URL, 4.6C Handling Unit PDF, Best Practice Document and etc). Hopefully somebody out there can really give me a good guideline on how to do this.
Thanks..

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.

Deliveries without reference to sales orders report/extract

Hi,
Please assist. In our business the users are creating sales orders and then a delivery but when they create the delivery, the line items from the sales order is deleted and new line items are created on the delivery and this breaks the document flow and leave room for fraud. Can you provide a report or an extract we can run to see how many deliveries has been created without referencing to sales orders. thanks. Suzann

Hi,
I dont know whether there is any report for this requirement.
However, you can restrict if the item should be added without reference or not in OVLK, select your delivery type and select 201 requirement in the field item requirement.
System will not allow you to enter / add any item that does not refer to sales order.
Hope you get some inputs

Outbound delivery without reference and customer-material info record

We use outbound deliveries without reference (L0). Several customers want their own material number printed on the delivery notes.
So we considered using customer material info records. Unfortunately, the customer material number is not copied from the customer material info record into the outbound delivery position.
Do any customizing settings exist that we might have overlooked? Or is this behavior a "feature"? Any hint would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gerald

Hi Gerald,
have you ever figured a solution for this issue?
I'm now facing the same issue and could need some support. I found some documentation for the USEREXIT_CUST_MATERIAL_READ, but I don't know whether that could be used as a solution.
Please let me know or if anybody else knows something, please feel free to chip in your knowledge!
Thx & regards,
Bobby

Good receipt in delivery without reference

Hi, we make an intensive use of deliveries without reference to move materials between plants. We have noted that when you use deliveries without reference checks are pretty bad. For example, if you cancel good posting (VL09) only checks if there is enough transfer stock, so if your delivery had been received and there is another delivery without reference in transfer with the same material and the same ship-to party, you can cancel good posting for the delivery.
We also noted that SAP checks everything if you use deliveries for transfer orders.
Do I have to customize something in order to get this checks made for deliveries without reference?
Thanks in advance.
Federico

SAP can do many checks, if it has data to check on.
In a delivery with reference, SAP can use this referenced data to perform checks, but in a delivery without reference .......you made the experience yourself --> less checks.
You can customize your system to not allow deliveries without reference, then you enable SAP to do more checks. But I guess you dont want this way.
Why dont you create STOs?
With proper data for planning, MRP can create requisitions for stock transfers automatically, the requisitions can be converted automatically to a PO using ME59N (which can be scheduled for periodic runs) So a user has not to do much for this process, and you can always create your deliveries in reference to a STO.

Inbound Delivery without order reference

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way for creating an inbound delivery without PO as a reference?
I need to create an inbound delivery with no reference, and I know that for the outbound process it is possible.
Thanks in advance,
Dikla

Hi,
Inbound delivery can be created with order reference not any other way.Even if you try to create Inbound delivery automatically through Idoc ,system in backgorund calls the Vl31N transaction so there is no other way .

Inbound delivery without PO reference - How to create?

what is your reqs?

When Inbound deliveries split no quantity found to pack

Hi,
My client is using the DELVRY03 Idoc to create inbound deliveries for purchases from vendors. The materials being purchased are batch managed and HU managed. Currently the set up runs without issue provided that there is no delivery split when for items with batch splits. If a delivery split occurs and the items on the second delivery have split batches then the second delivery is incorrectly copied.
Since the current configuration for the copy control does not copy the line item number that is populated on PO, the main item of the second delivery gets a new number but the batch split lines have the PO reference number populated in UECHA. So if the delivery split occurs between the first 2 main items, then the second PO item is copied to the new delivery with item 10 as the line item number the batch sub item lines are created with a reference to line item 20 in UECHA. In this case the delivery gets created. Line 10 is packed. But there are no batch sub items for line 10. Additionally there is no line 20 but when you look at LIPS the batch sub items are all created with the line 20 reference. In short the second delivery is a mess.
I would like to change the copy control so that the line number for PO item 20 copies in to the second delivery as line item 20. Then all my batch sub items would be correctly linked. Unfortunately, when I turn on copy line number in the copy control the IDOC still fails. This time it fails with the message no quantity to be packed.
I looked at OSS notes 380657, 678464, and 682506 which were all applied in our system. In these notes it states that the second delivery can be created when batch splits occur providing that the IDOC is maintained with the correct data. This comment leads me to wonder if there is something being populated incorrectly in the IDOC. For instance, should the IDOC be populated with the actual PO item in POSNR and HIPOS or is there some form of wild card that should be used that lets the system determine the correct line numbers?
Has anyone had an experience similar to this that can provide some insight?
Thanks,
Paul

Steffen,
What I understand from the code:
If your stock is specified exactly (=as much as it is possible) you can pack your materials, if not, you will get error message.
If material is split valuated and not batch managed and valuation type is defined in the delivery then you won't get error message since the stock is specified as much as possible ("ls_lips-bwtar <> space" is TRUE) .
If the valuation type is not given for this material in the delivery, you will get message HUDIALOG102; "ls_lips-bwtar <> space" is FALSE)
If your material is batch managed and batch is specified then the stock is specified as much as possible (with quantity of course; ("ls_lips-charg <> space" is TRUE).
If batch is not sepcified for the same (batch managed) material, then again you will get message HUDIALOG102 (ls_lips-charg <> space is FALSE)
If material is neither batch managed nor subject to split valuation then "ls_lips-xchar <> 'X'" is TRUE and you won't get any message.
If your material is batch managed AND also split valuated, then you always specify the stock via the batch and from the batch valuation type comes. So, if batch is given for the (main) item then "ls_lips-charg <> space" is TRUE --> you won't get error message.
If you use batch split then neither batch nor valuation type are defined for the item, so all of these are false...:
ls_lips-xchar '<' '>' 'X'
ls_lips-charg '<' '>' space
ls_lips-bwtar '<' '>' space
...and system will try to read whether batch is defined for batch split items / whether batch split items exist:
READ TABLE it_lips WITH KEY uecha = ls_lips-posnr
TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.
and if there are such batch split items then it means the stock is specified and you can pack the goods.
(using serial number management we can specify the stock more exactly but from this point of view serial numbers don't play any role):

Grouping of inbound deliveries

Hi there,
We are running ECC6 and EWM.
We have a situation where we create different orders against different vendor numbers, however the supplying vendor is the same. We only use the different vendor numbers to allow for different pricing, currency, inforecords, etc.
Out vendor would supply the all the parts of all the PO's all packed into the same case.
We process the inbound delivery via a DESADV.DELVRY03 IDoc. When we process the inbound delivery, we automatically pack it as well as defined in the IDoc, but because the items contained in the inbound delivery IDoc is for different PO's and for different vendors, SAP splits the idoc and creates an inbound delivery per vendor, but still using the same HU number for each when doing the packing.
In EWM the system sees these deliveries as duplicates because of the HU number that gets used between the inbound deliveries are the same.
My question is if there is a way in this process to re-pack the separate inbound deliveries into a single HU, or if there is a way to create an inbound delivery that does not reference the PO vendor?
Thanks and regards,
Johan

This is the ABAP forum, but it looks like this question is more for a functional Purchasing expert.
IMHO you might need go back to the drawing board with this and reconsider the design. I'm not a PTP expert, but it usually works as a "reverse SD". In SD you can't combine orders for different customers in one delivery (which kind of makes sense). However, deliveries may be combined into an outbound shipment. And there is a concept of inbound shipment as well.
In SD it's possible to create a delivery without a reference to order, it's very likely possible for inbound. But it's not an ABAP question.

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.
