Third Party - Statistical GR

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any configurational settings needs to be done in processing a Statistical Gr for a Third Party Purchase Order.

I had done all of the settings in the SD module, created a Sales Order which in turn created a PR in background & Converted the PR to the PO with the account assignment category and item category as Third party.

But when i have tried to make a GR, the system throws a message stating that there is no items selectable in the PO but the PO is sill open.

Could any one help me in getting the configurational settings needs to be carried to process a Statistical GR for a Third Party Purchase Order.

Hi

For Third party Processing....you need not do any other setting....the thing is the Vendor is Directly Delivring the goods to Customer and getting the acknowledgement.....And Based on that acknowlegement, if you Already set the GR indicator in PO->Item Details---->Delivery Tab....You can do Statistical GR......ie) While you are doing this Statistical GR, there will not be any qty updating or value updating.....It is only for Statistical purpose(Record Purpose) and it is optional only...

Even if you are not doing this also, the system will allow you to post the invoice.....onlything is After IV and IP only, the sales team can do the billing document..

Reward if useful

Hi,

I too accept that the statistical GR is optional, but my client wants to have a track of record with respect to the Third Party PO, but i am not able to do the GR. the system says that there is no selectable items, when i proceed with normal PO, the system allows me to perform GR.

hi,

Check in PO in item details confirmation tab confirmation control.

I think you need to create inbound delivery for the PO thru VL31n t code.

This should solve your problem

HI,

I had already done all of the SD related settings due to which i was able to generate the TP PR and the TP PO. The Process only stops at the MIGO.

Hi,

Please confirm what is selected in confirmation tab becoz

Confirmation control key

Determines which confirmation categories are expected for a PO item (e.g. order acknowledgment, shipping notification).

Procedure

Enter the key containing the confirmation categories agreed with the vendor.

Dependencies

If you enter a key and select Acknowl. reqd, you can have messages issued to vendors urging them to submit overdue order acknowledgments (acknowledgment expediters). Other confirmation categories cannot be expedited in this way.

hi,

Here is the explanation of confirmation control key.

Confirmation control key

Enter the key containing the confirmation categories agreed with the vendor.

Dependencies

<b>If you enter a key and select Acknowl. reqd, you can have messages issued to vendors urging them to submit overdue order acknowledgments (acknowledgment expediters). Other confirmation categories cannot be expedited in this way.

you need to create inbound delivery ie confirmation of goods have been delivered to customer place thru t code VL31N and then do MIGO after that.</b>

<u><b>If you are not following the process you deselect that confirmation control key and do MIGO.</b></u>

Thanks
