Partially picked situation

Question

Hello,
I wish to get clarification on the following regarding situation where full ordered quantity is not fully picked.
WM situation :
To post Goods Issue when quantity is partially picked,
Either
a. Copy the picked quantity to the Delivery quantity and then confirming the TO with this partial picked quantity. Goods is now issuable. A New DO is then created for the balance.
OR
b. perform subsequent picking for the remaining quantities by creating additional TOs based in the same DO for the balance. In this case, unlike above, picked quantity is entered in Picking quantity and Delivery quantity is also set to Picking Quantity and the DO can be saved. PGI is done. Next, this DO can be opened again and additional TO is created to clear the balance using this same DO.
Non-WM situation :
1. WM status field not applicable. Actually picking is reflected same way as WM situation, that is, picked quantity entered in Picking Quantity thus picking status is B not C and Delivery quantity set to same as Picking Quantity. But in this case, picking status is not C as picked quantity not the same as order quantity, so PGI not possible or allowed. So, the Delivery Quantity has to be reduced to the Picking quantity (actually picked qty) . The balance of customer's required quantity can only be processed using another separate DO referencing the same Sales Order containing the original Order Quantity.

Hello Pascal,
Please refer the following suggestions;
WM situation : To post Goods Issue when quantity is partially picked,
a. Copy the picked quantity to the Delivery quantity and then confirming the TO with this partial picked quantity. Goods is now issuable. A New DO is then created for the balance.
: Yes, you are correct , when delivery is partially picked, we copy the delivery qty (partially) in to picked qty under picking tab and confirm the transfer order.
Now you can create new outbound delivery for the remaining balanced qty from the parent sales order unless and until sales order line item is marked for rejection (customer cancelled order). If the line item in sales order is marked for deletion, then in that case new delivery cannot be created as the sales order status chnages to completed.
b. perform subsequent picking for the remaining quantities by creating additional TOs based in the same DO for the balance. In this case, unlike above, picked quantity is entered in Picking quantity and Delivery quantity is also set to Picking Quantity and the DO can be saved. PGI is done. Next, this DO can be opened again and additional TO is created to clear the balance using this same DO.
: I don' think this is possible as the delivery which is created from sales order picks up the qty based on schedule line determination in sales order, which is executed with the help of availability check. I suggest, you should not manually change the delivery qty as it may lead to updation termination, as system won't allow you to post goods issue, basec on reason that stock is not sufficiently available.
Non-WM situation :
This situation occurs generally during cross docking or third party sales, where goods are being directly delivered at customer's premises. Yes, WM status is not appicable in such cases as these deliveries are not warehouse managed.
In such cases, you need to directly do the picking and confirmtaion in one single step by opening gthe delivery in chnage mode and enter the delivery qty same as that of picking qty. Here you can enter the delivery qty based on customer commitment and susquently do the picking for partial qty and later manage the left over qty under seperate delivery document
