Can we do a Goods Receipt for a IB no posting but have GR by PO with posting??

Hi Experts

For our client receive the orders PO with free text items directly expensed to the PM orders. They are received by PO and expensed accordingly.

We want to have better tracking of the incoming materials so we are introducing inbound delivery with text items to track and do a PGR so that no material movement needs to occur.

When the material arrives we will receive against the PO.

Can we do this so that inbound delivery is purely used for tracking purpose (ASN)  without having any postings, and then PGR with respect to the PO?

If we click the PGR on inbound delivery (we are making sure that the item category doesnt have movement type.) will it not close the PO? Will the system allow us to receive it against the PO?

Not sure if we have do some  tweak (configuration ) to achieve this??

thanks

Hi AKPT

I think I was not clear. Let me explain again.

CaseA) Inventory Materials need Inbound delivery and receive PGR with respect to delivery

CaseB) Free text items (having cost center/work order) assignment. These also need inbound delivery for tracking but when we do PGR it should mark delivery as complete but should not trigger any postings. For these orders we want to receive them by PO. Inbound Delivery in this case is purely used for tracking them.

In your example if I do the OLMB configuration then I cannot do my CaseA.

Let me know

thanks

Hi,

   I have tested it in my system and the system is not allowing to do PGR frm inbound delivery, because I have already posted the GR against the PO in MIGO for the account assigned PO. The delivery is also showing as goods movement completed once i did GR in MIGO against PO. If this is not happening in your system, please make the message VL 636 as Error.

Hi,

   To prevent doing GR against inbound delivery, got to OLMB - Settings for Enjoy Transactions - Settings for Goods Movement (MIGO) - Settings for transaction and reference docs. Here, Select MIGO_GR  and double click on 'Transaction/Event' folder on  left pane. Now Slect "goods Receipt" and double click on "Reference Document" on left pane. Here, remove the tick mark for "Inbound Delivery" Active. Now, you cant do GR against the inbound delivery.

   Now, inorder to prevent PGR from inbound delivery in VL32N, I think you have to go for authorization management. As of my knowledge, you have to control it using authorization control. Alternatively, you may check transaction variant in SHD0.

Hope its clear and helpful.
