Solution to Non-Reversal of Usage Decision

[Kaushikghosh87]

Hi Experts,

I have facing an Issue over Goods movement .

Issue is User has done GR against PO using Transaction MIGO with mvmt Type - 101 and GR is posted to Quality stock for inspection , there user has accepted the usage Decision using QA32 and posted the Stock to Unrestricted using movement type -321. But Now they want to cancel the GR earlier done because they have posted wrong Quantity.

Now since reversal of UD is not a standard solution and also is not a immediate solution to this problem, so what solution i should suggest to client to have his requirement fulfilled for this Issue without doing reversal of UD. We can think of Developing Zprogram of reversal of UD later.

your response will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Kaushik,

You can not cancel the GR if stock is cleared through quality module, unless you develop a Zprogram to reverse the UD.

for your issue - Post the return delivery for the wrong GRN, PO will show the returned qty as open quantity. and then post the new grn with correct qty.

Hi Ravi,

While Following above suggestion , will any accounting entries get effected??

It is time to correct something.

first of all the initial question was already a frequently discussed question.

The question " will any accounting entries get effected" is again a basic and frequently discussed question.

You have to search before posting - this is a rule in SCN

Unfortunately I was not present to reject this question right away, as this would have been a better solution, as it had forced you to search. But rejecting it now will only create damage since you got wrong advice.

Not sure where all these myths come from and why they are spread.

A return is something quite different from a cancellation, even that both lead to zero stock at the end, a return is used in external processing, it is about sending materials back to your vendor, a cancellation of a receipt is pure internal processing to correct a wrong entered value (no physical movement). It is statistically not the same, receiving and cancelling it again is just as good as not received anything as it nullifies. Receiving and doing a return are different processes , an inbound and an outbound process, it is visible separately. It is taken into account in vendor evaluation.

To cancel the receipt movement after the usage decision you can use MIGO, but do not choose cancel material document, because the material document only knows that the stock is in quality status, which is not the case anymore after a usage decision.

just do again goods receipt - reference to PO - but change then the movement type to the cancellation movement type (102).

Then goto the detail into WHERE tab and change status to the stock status your stock has right now.

Do you really think that "Developing Zprogram of reversal of UD" would do any good (or just create inconsistencies) if the processes and basic handling of MIGO are not even understood?

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for your response, I have tried and found GR gets reversed as per your say and another Inspection lot is also generated when did GR with movement type 101 and correct quantity.

Also , I knew that my question was already a frequent Discussed question but while my search I haven't seen same solution as you have suggested here. What I have found that for these type of cases Reversal of UD cant be done  and has to create a z-program development and since its not a solution I thought I should suggest my client since this issue require some immediate steps therefore I posted a question to get a Quick solution to obviate the Issue because in this issue we still couldn't understood why user need to cancel all GR despite all posting done properly.

And my second question certainly comes from confusion between process of Cancellation and return of Goods which you have explained very well.

Third, I came with same question after reading your response ,why we need to develop Z- program for reversal of UD when following your suggestion one can handle these type of Issue through MIGO.

Thanks Jurgen

Dear Jurgen,

Thanks for clearing the all these myths come from all over and putting end to them.

After reading your reply, we can conclude that UD reversal is possible with out need to develope Z-programme.

Please correct if am wrongly concluded.

Also I wonder there was no moderator alert on such myths regarding the UD reversal questions..

Suggesting to incorporate a some corrective system which will stop Myth answer to stop from spreading. Even that will also enrich the content on our SCN!!!!

What about reversing UD  as per note 175842 ( RQEVAC50) and then cancelling the GR?

[ravi_kumar204]

Hi Kaushik,

If it is OK for you, for this, you can post Return delivery in MIGO with ref. to the GRN document. Change the stock type to unrestricted usage.

Hi Ravi,

basically, Stock is in Unrestricted but user has posted wrong Quantity of material in GR . They want to cancel GR and do again with right quantity since Invoice is pending at accounts side

Hi Ravi,

Apologies for late Reply.

Well Ravi, I suggest read the Jurgen Reply above it will guide you why your suggestion can not be applied because following your suggestion is an outbound process and it will affect Accounting Entries also.

Thanks
