Enter total quantity in MIGO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am guessing the best strategy to post a "total delivered" quantity at line level in transaction MIGO.

Currently, the system suggest for the field ERFMG the total quantity remaining on order; if the delivery is partial, you enter the correct quantity, and the system evaluates the related value.

I have the need to enter the total quantity delivered up to date, including previous deliveries, expecting that the system will evaluate - as a difference - the quantity for "this" delivery.

Is the only solution an extension of the program?

Many thanks

Massimo,

In my view, you are creating more work for yourself rather than making the system work for you.

First your need to go to different table EKPO to get the delivered quantity. Now , you have activate a userexit or something to ask the system to do the calculation in a different way.

I would want you to present this case to business rather than changing the sap way of working. Now sure how your requirement would add value to your business

Your requirement is not clear. It will be helpful if you can explain with an example.

The case is the following:

we have PO of very large amount, the delivery ma span over several months, each month (or more) the supplier send an invoice for the job done. Before authorizing the issue of the invoice, the technical office checks the total quantity delivered. It is easier to check the total quantity than to check the incremental quantity delivered since previous check. Actually the technical office performs its calculation on an Excel spreadsheet - that calculates the difference [current total] - [previous total] - than post the difference as en entry. The invoice amount is checked against this quantity.

Having an external spreadsheet may lead to errors, and makes any audit on the process more difficult. Consider that an half percent in the quantity checked may represent about 10.000$ in value.

Thus I would like to allow the user to enter the total quantity on MIGO, and have the system compute the actual quantity as a difference.
