Sending Material for Final packaging.

Question

Dear Experts,
Greetings of the day!
Scenario:
At times we have some finished products, which we need to send to a vendor for making promotion packs- In simple terms, suppose we have finished material - A, B and C, and we want to get all together shrink wrapped. (3 in 1).
No. of Promotional Packs: 100, each containing (materials A,B &C in the ratio of 1:1:1)
Material
Quantity
Batch
A
100
100001
B
100
100002
C
100
100003
Batch management is active.
Process AS-IS:
1.Create Purchase request (MB51N); with item category -L
2.Create Purchase order (ME21N);
3.Issue material against purchase order by 541 Movement;
4.Create inbound delivery against Purchase order;
5.Receive material By MIGO, with movement type 107;
6.Release GR Blocked Stock by MIGO with movement type 109;
7.Create TO against material document generated from 109 Movement.
8.Confirmation of TO for final put-away to respective storage bins.
Problems:
1. When we receive partial quantities from the vendor, we can make GRN (107) against the inbound delivery for the partial quantity by changing the quantity in the inbound delivery number; but we are not able to release GRN (109) as it is showing an error , which asks for complete receipt needs to be done.
2. I have reversed 107, by doing 108, and then if I am trying to make GRN against the same inbound delivery by movement type 107, the system reflects an error  as " Delivery note data already Exits".
Scenerio II: Promotion Packs : 100, each containing materials (A,A & A in the ratios of 1:1:1)-Pack of Three (Same Material)
Material
Quantity
Batch
A
100
100004
A
100
100005
A
100
100006
Purchase request looks like : (B'coz at the time of making purchase request we don't know which batch will be picked by the system)
Material
Quantity
A
300
Similarly Purchase order will look same, as it has been created from the PR, and inbound delivery number also same (Only one line item).
Problems:
1. At the time of GRN (107), how can we split the material into different batches, since we want to receive with the same batch.
Hope the scenario's are clear!

Hi,
   So many issues are identified when using two step procedure with inbound delivery. The notes 1373027 - Problems w/ 2-step goods receipts using inbound deliveries and  1225077 - GR with inbound deliveries in (valuated) GR blocked stock  explains the same.
   If you have different batch numbers for GR, then you have to split to different line items with respect to batch.
