Confirmation control for return

[cwlaualex]

Hi Experts,

In our current setup, we are using inbound delivery for PO. The confirmation control is set to 0004 in the PIR. However, there is problem with the return PO for vendor consignment stock. In normal return PO, the confirmation control is empty which should be correct as there should not have any IBD. However, the confirmation control key is still 0004 for vendor consignment return PO. As a result, the delivery of the vendor consignment return cannot be post as there is an outstanding inbound confirmation. Could anyone suggest for any configuration or transaction data that I should check for this problem? Thanks!

Dear All,

In addition to Alex's points, I would like to mention a few other concerns in this case.

I feel the Inbound delivery under confirmation control field is picked automatically from vendor master data record and PIR maintained for consignment.

But no inbound delivery is created either automatically or manually. and I cannot change the confirmation control as it is non-editable field. This field can be changed may be if we change settings related to Field selection control. But I want to know other solutions to this.

There are many such POs created by users incorrectly and all of them are open with these Idoc failure issues.

And another concern here is we do not understand how the confirmation control is not picked as Inbound delivery in quality system though the master data is maintained the same way in both the systems.

Is there any way to reverse or correct the POs or deliveries.

Please suggest.

Hi Alex

  Check if confirmation control has been maintained in consignment info record and remove the same if so

Hi Ranjjini,

I believe the PIR is correct as I don’t know if there is any setting that could distinguish normal PO and return PO. We need this confirmation control for purchase but not return.

Instead go for creating return consignment purchase order, please use transaction MBRL for consignment returns. You have to enter the material document, choose create delivery, enter the return quantity, reason for movement and then post.

Hi Rosh,

This maybe a way to bypass this problem. However, we would like to do it in the proper way. This method also introduce the problem of looking up the previous PO.

You have two options,

1. Make the following message category to warning. Create outbound delivery against return consignment PO.

2. Use transaction MBRL. Create return delivery against material document.

Hi Rosh,

Actually I am able to complete the whole vendor consignment return in my quality system, this problem only exists in the production.

Hi Alex,

I have already come up with probable solutions, could you please explain the problem with screenshot.

Hi Rosh,

This is a bit complicated as we are using decentralized WMS in our setup. The current problem is the OBD confirmation IDoc (SHP_OBDLV_CONFIRM_DECENTRAL) cannot be post back. The corresponding error message is "No goods receipt possible for purchase order 4500nnnnnn 00010". Message number is M7036.

Hi,

Are you creating an outbound delivery to the WMS system? What's the use of OBDLV_CONFIRM_DECENTRAL with confirmation set up in PO?

Hi Dipankar,

I am creating a return PO for vendor consignment stock. The delivery is sent to decentralized WMS. After the delivery is post good issue in decentralized WMS. An IDoc will send back to centralized system to confirm the delivery.

Hi,

Now you should an confirmation such that it will allow the GR receipt on the PO line. You might create a confirmation type and make it GR relevant.

Hi Alex,

How are you generating the OBD with reference to the return consignment PO ?

Thank you

Hi Dipankar,

I am doing return delivery. There is no inbound process or GR.

Hi Sri,

The OBD is generated by VL10B.
