TO Confirmed but remain as opened in Outbound delivery picking status

[neb]

Hi Gurus,

I have been reading the blog in search of an answer for my issue, but even when the answers are similar they are not 100% addressing my issue.

I have created an Outbound Delivery to issue goods to customer.

We are using WM module.

Then I have execute picking through "subsequent functions > Create TO" which took me to LT03 and created a TO.

Then i have confirmed the TO through transaction LT12 .

I don't know what happened but my O.D. displays OvrllPickStatus "C" (Fully picked) and OverallWMStatus "B" (Open Transf Ord Item)

And it doesn't allow me to execute P.G.I. since the pickcing is not 100% done.

I have tried tx: LX47, LT0G, LT15, and other reports metioned across al the threats in this blog, but it still does not allow me to modify.

The only think I was able to see in VL02N was in the menue "Edit > Imcompletenes" that:

Item (SD) 10

Item (SD) 10

Short Description Batches / valuation types not completely allocated

Incompletion procedure L2

Tables V50UC

Field name BTREF Screen CHSP_T

Processing sequence 9999

But the transaction VL02N didn't created the sub item with batch split, and it neither allow me to perform batch split or batch determination manually.

It looks like the system got stuck at some point during the background picking process.

Any idea of how can I fix it?

Thanks very much in advance.

Best regards.

tag changed to LE (Logistics Execution)

Kindly post with the most relevant primary tag to get the attention of the right experts who can help. Without the proper tag, the right people will not see your question and those that do see are not likely be able to provide a solution. You can find the list of primary tags here: http://sapassets.edgesuite.net/tools/SAP-Community-Tags.xlsx

[neb]

Thanks very much,

In fact i was looking for LE or SCM generic tag, but I was only able to find some SCM tags related to HANA, which wasn't the right universe to place in my question. Thanks very much for the excel file. Any ideas of why is not being shown in my web navigator? I'm using Google Chrome.

[JL23]

I work with Chrome too and as you can see I had no problem to assign the tag, I just typed L E blank and scrolled to the right tag to select the tag

Alternative it work too when I type Logisti

Hi gurus,

I'm adding more data so I can validate if I'm missing something:

The delivery has the WM STATUS: 'B' (Open TO item).

The transfer order is already confirmed through transaction LT12.

In LT21, initially i see the TO confirmed:

But when i check TO Header data, i get the following:

The Warning message says the following:

"Delivery Not yet updated"

Then checking the information at Item Level, i get this:

[MANIS]

Yellow flag means pick is confirmed and Transfer is still pending, Can you please try to use LT1E and process the TO, let us know what is the error message are you getting

[JL23]

what you described at point 3) should actually not be possible since the picking in a WM location has to be done by transport order and confirmation. This manual picking is the way it is done without WM.

SAP should actually not even have the field for picking quantity open for a manual entry. Can it be that you have a modification in the system?

Did you change or enter the storage before you entered the picking quantity? did you enter the picking quantity after such change without having pressed enter after you entered the storage location?

Hi Jurgen,

No, i don't neither populate or change the StoLoc field.

I execute these steps:

1) Create Outbound delivery in transaction VL01N. Save it.

2) I clic on Batch Split. And I choose a batch for the material number.

3) I type the quantity. And I go back to VL02n Item general view.

4) Now the sub item was created, but the statuses remain the same.

5) I clic on "Subsequent functions" > "Create TRansfer order" and it takes to transaction LT03.

6) I perform Stock Removal in background processing. And I save it.

7) No I go back to VL02n and the Overall Picking status has changed to "C = Fully picked". But WM status remains the same.

😎 I go to transaction LT12 and confirm TO.

9) I come back to check VL02n/VL03n and I verify that the WM status has changed to "C = WM TO confirmed"

This is how the Workaround works so far. But This is not the ideal scenario in client's template.

The ideal scenario should be:

Create O.D. in VL02n, go to subsequent functions, create TO, confirm TO, and the O.D. should have both statuses "Completed" and it should be ready for P.G.Issue.

Best regards.

N.

[JL23]

So the only difference between the 2 alternative scenarios is that you do not want to assign a batch in the delivery, right?

Or is there any other difference that I do not see?

[neb]

I should be able to execute transfer order creation, and as consequence of this, batch split should be automatically executed, and Status for both picking and WM should be automatically changed to "Completed" once I confirm the TO.

[JL23]

that was not the answer to my question - and what you want works well in my system.

I still want to understand where the exact difference is between your first scenario and the scenario that you call workaround.

[neb]

The difference is what was described before:

In the ideal scenario:

I create Outbound Delivery,

I execute Subsequent function > Create TO,

I confirm the TO,

And the OD gets fully picked and WM status Completed.

This is the behaviour I pretend from the system.

In the workaround scenario:

I create O.D.,

I don't execute Subsequent functions (because if I do it I reach to crete the TO, but once is confirmed it gets stuck in WM status "B"),

I have to manually determine the batch and quantity through manual batch split operation,

And then I have to manually create the TO and manually confirm it,

And only after all these manual executions, the O.D. gets fully picked and WM status Completed.

This is not the behaviour I pretend from the system.

Does it answer to your question?

[JL23]

I am still not clear, don't use so much words as it is hard to understand, sometimes a yes or no is more sufficient, or just outlining the difference between both scenarios, re-reading this unbelievable long discussion is tough. I would need to print and use scissors to put the 2 scenarios next to each other to know where exactly is the difference and would still have problems as the scenarios are explained differently like this above.

Now I see this difference: Subsequent function > Create TO versus manual TO creation

And you actually did the batch assignment in the delivery before creating the TO in your workaround, and where you do and where you want it in the ideal scenario is not explained.

[neb]

The difference is what was described before:

In the ideal scenario:

I create Outbound Delivery (VL02n),

I execute Subsequent function > Create TO (VL02n > Subsequent Functions > Create TO),

I confirm the TO (LT12),

And the OD gets fully picked and WM status Completed, and I'm able to PGI.

This is the behaviour I pretend from the system.

In the workaround scenario:

I create O.D. (VL02n),

I don't execute Subsequent functions (because if I do it I reach to create the TO, but once is confirmed it gets stuck in WM status "B"),

I have to manually determine the batch and quantity through manual batch split operation (VL02n > Batch Split button),

And then I have to manually create the TO and manually confirm it (LT03 to manually create the TO, and LT12 to confirm it),

And only after all these manual executions, the O.D. gets fully picked and WM status Completed, and I'm able to PGI.

This is not the behavior I pretend from the system.

Does it answer to your question?

[JL23]

where do you want your batches determined in your ideal scenario?

[neb]

Hi Jurgen,

Maybe I didn't express clearly the situation, which is the following:

Usual behavior in client's system should be as follows:

1) tx: VL02n, you create an Outbound delivery.

2) in the same transaction, I go to Subsequent Functions, y clic con "Create Transport Order" and what should happen according to this template, is that a TO is created. Then once I confirm it through transaction LT12, the information in the Outbound Delivery should change, meaning that a sub-item is created with reference to the item line, the batch number and quantities are populated in this sub-item line, and the Picking status is changed to "C = completed" and also WM status is changed to "C = Completed".

What is happening now?

I do all the above mentioned steps, but the item and sub-item remain with WM Status "B = Open TO items".

And if I check the log in the O.D. it shows me the error:

You can see that there were no sub item line (e.g.: 900001) created, and/or Batch number and quantities assigned to the parent Item (10).

Work around:

1) tx: VL02n, you create an Outbound delivery.

2) Go to the item line, and clic on Batch Split button.

3) Select manually the batch number and quantity. And once you save, the "picking status is switch to "C = Completed" but not the WM status.

4) So you go to LT03 and manually create the Transfer Order with reference to the Outbound Delivery, and once you save it, the TO becomes automatically confirmed, and the WM status in the Outbound Delivery line item and sub-item changes to "C = Completed"

Here is an example of the manually executed woraround.

Best regards.

Hi Jurgen,

These are outbound deliveries with movement type 601 "delivery to customer".

There is also WM module in place, which is why the T.O. is being requested to move goods from StoBin to StoArea 916 fo Shipments.

What I'm seeing is that when I create the O.Delivery and execute "Subsequent Functions" in trx VL02n to create T.O., this is created and once I confirm it it gets stuck with WM status "B = Open TO item" and Picking Status "C = Fully picked".

The sub item line for batch split is not created for the specific item line in the O.D. neither batch determination for su item line.

On the other hand, by manually executing the picking activity and batch determination (through batch split button) I get to complete both statuses.

Best regards.

N.

[JL23]

I re-read the initial question again, in the subject you wrote "outbound delivery" , the error for incompletion procedure shows "L2" which is about inbound deliveries.

Can you brief explain if it is inbound or outbound and if this is related to decentralized warehouse or IDoc exchange

This answer confuses me as well.

What do you mean by "On the other hand" ? Initially you said you could not do any manual picking and batch determination.

And how do you pick and determine the batch usually?

Is this a single case which totally behalves different from all your others? Is it repeatable?

[neb]

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks very much for your prompt response.

I have executed LX47 but I'm still getting the same messages:

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance.

N.

[JL23]

I see a message text starting with "Item 000010: only 0 ST fr"

I have not yet seen this anywhere in your information above. What is the exact full text?

[neb]

It just give that message.

I don't see any log display within this transaction:

If I check the log at tx VL02n I get the following message:

Execute LX47 to update the delivery as you have a delayed delivery update indicator in your TO

[neb]

Hi Gurus,

So definitely is something wrong with Batch Split/Batch determination in our WM environment.

I did the following execution:

1) Manual creation of Outbound Delivery (as usual single creation VL01n)

2) Manual Batch Split and Picking data tab update (always in VL01n or VL02n)

3) At this point, picking status stills 'A' (Not yet picked) and WM status stills 'A' (WM TO reqd)

4) Salve O.D.

5) Create TO in transaction LT03 and save it.

6) Confirm TO in transaction LT12 and save it. And at this point both status switch to 'C' = Completed.

And the O.D. is allowed to be PGIssued.

In the past, once I have created an O.D., I use to execute "Create TO" from "Subsequent Functions" in trx VL02n, and a TO were created, and then when confirmed, both status in VL02n (picking and WM) switched to "C".

What am I missing?

Best regards.

N.

[neb]

I cannot reach to see the note since I don't have an S user and the user from the client is not current available. I'm blind at this point.

I'd like to add that as we saw, the TO is being confirmed, even having that warning. But definitelly the O.D. item line is not populated with batch number and quantity.

In our Template, every time you confirm the T.O. for certain O.D. Item line, the sub-item line 900001 is created containing the batch nr and quantity among other data.

This is not happening now. Maybe is an issue related to Batch Mgmt. I'm analyzing the customizing one more time, since this didn't happened before.

Best regards.

Hi Manish,

I have executed LT1E and I'm getting the following error:

Transfer order 0000006562 already confirmed or cancelled, or cancellat. sent

Message no. L3354

Best regards.

[MANIS]

Did you check with the OSS note which was suggested by Jurgen earlier

[neb]

I have also checked MMBE:

And also checked LS26:

[JL23]

Please compare your situation with the different situations outline in the OSS note 2303665 - Troubleshooting WM status 'B' in a Delivery

This note mentions as well correction reports that may help to clear this situation.

[neb]

Hi Jurgen,

Many thanks for your your prompt response. I'm certified in TSCM52_66 but I'm afraid I have no permissions to read notes. I have already asked to SAP why is this happening and they have replied that it's some more or less new rule that they put in place. I don't have customer's user ID neither.

Would it be possible for you to share this note?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards.

N.

[JL23]

No, notes are under copyright, and I have not the rights to distribute them. Ask a colleague to download it for you. Your customer has certainly someone in the company who has access to the notes.

[neb]

Ok, thanks very much.

Best regards.
