Delivery Completion Indicator- Control?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In our organization we have defined the release strategy in such a way that, we are having 8 release codes in a release strategy,, by means of release indicator blocked and released,,,once the PO was released bythe initial hierarchy release indicator is set as blocked i.e we cant do any changes to the PO.

Requirement is I hv created a PO for 10 quantity.

Received only 04 quantity,,, by this time vendor told that he cant supply the balance quantity,,, so want to short close the PO. so set the delivery completion indicator during GR time,,, by which the Header status in PO was changed like this. Ordered -10, delivered -4, still to be delivered -0. This is what exactly we require,,, bur our end user try to do GR for the balance 6 items for the same PO,,, it has taken in even we set the delivery completion indicator,,,

Why this indicator is not having control?system should not allow us to do further GR if this indicator is set,, even its allowing us do, how to overcome this?

If ur suggestion is try to short close the PO by changing the ordered qty to 4,,, this is not possible in our business scenario as v r having typical release procedure as explained above. help me out

regards,

Hi Urendra,

Delivery completion indicator works only for calculating MRP, if po is set like this in MRP run system considers this po as closed. if you don't want to allow further GR's on particular PO, just block it, look into lock icon just above item detail & lock it system won't allow to do further GR for this PO.

Hi,

I agree with u, as I explained we cant go to the change mode of PO, once it is finally released,,, so how to select that lock icon at item overview in PO w/o going to the change mode of PO,,, so is there any other option for preventing this PO whose delivery completion indicator was set from any further goods receipt,,,

thanks

Hi urendra,

There is no such setting in SAP as of now, may be some userexit or development to be used to link from GR to PO without going to change mode.

Hi,

This is a problem that is typically caused by blocking changes to an authorised PO.

It would be better to allow certain changes and reset the release instead of completely blocking the PO for change. That way if anything that affects the release changes, it will have to be authorised again, but if something changes that is NOT part of the release check, it can be done without problem.

That way you could set the "blocked" indicator as suggested, but if you changed the qty or price etc. the PO would have to be released again.

One final option would be to use a user exit in MIGO that checks for the DCI flag and prevents the GR.

Hi Urendra,

When you are closing the PO going to change mode, why you want to release again anyway that is not going happen to this PO since GR is done & decided to close.

because even if it goes to release the person in stores cannot accept till it is released, if released by mistake you have blocked the item.

Just a thought.
