Reservation for WBSE

[Former Member]

Hi,

The scenario is....

Material A has Material Master setting as procurement F and Collective stock indicator (Assume I can not make it individual). Requirement is created from Project and material is delivered after receipt.

I assign Material to my Project activity and create Reservation against the WBSE.

During MRP run, since stock is not available in plant , it creates a PR.

After PR is converted to PO and GR is posted, it sits in plant stock.

Later it is issued against the reservation created from PS.

Whether it will be available in stock or since issue is consumption will there be no stock.? if that is true how can I deliver with no stock ? What is procedure to close that reservation ?

Thanks

Hi,

In your case the Material attached is the General stock.

Usually for any reservation the Material movement will be like this:

1. Tcode: MIGO,Goods Receipt against the Purchase order (movement type: 101)

This bring the material in the storage location.

2. TCode: MIGO, Goods issue against the reservation (Movement type :281Q)

Here the cost is loaded on the project.

3. In step 2 the material is moved from the general stock to the Project stock. i.e when you run Tcode MD04 for this particular material, you can see that the material is showing the +ve value against the WBS Element for which this reservation was created.

4. To deliver the material from the project the prerequisites are:

a) the material has to be assigned to different network activities at different dates

b) the material is available in project stock.

5. Then create a delivery information.

6. Using Tcode CNS0 carry out the delivery. Here the cost is offloaded from the project.

Hope its useful.

Reward points if found useful. Revert back if any other issue.

Hi Vishal,

One correction...whem material master procurement setting is collective then Reservation for Network will be created not Reservation for WBSE.

In your explanation at point 2 , when we issue against resrvation, material is directly consumed and cost id debited to project. In mmbe no stock is available. Hence it is not possible to deliver.

I am looking to deliver the same and also closing the reservation.

Thanks

Hi,

What item category you are maintaining? Is it L or N?

Hi,

You are not supposed to issue the material to Project. instead go ahead and do the delivery, which will result in goods issue.

Regarding reservation, it should get closed automatically. You can check whether 'Final Issue' check box is ticked on Procurement Parameters (CJ20N) tab page in material. Also you can confirm the activity later on which will close the reservation.

Hai Shrikanth,

What you said is matches with what I planned. It is as follows...

1) For Material A reservation is created from PS.

2) Through MB1B , Mvtmt type 412Q , Material A is pushed in to Project WBS stock.

3) Final issue indicator is flagged for closing reservation.

4) Since it is in stock, can be delivered.

In above process, only one issue is .....for same material , reservation is created from many applications...... here we are planning to runa background Job for issuing against reservation. Check all open reservations and issue from Stock on first come first serve basis. In such scenario , we will have to filter out reservations with Network acct assignment or with movement type 281.

For Point 2 and point 3 we are planning to automate. Schedule job will run everynight. Filter reservations with movement type 281 or Network acct assignment and push stock in to resepective WBSE to which it is assigned and tick FIs indicator.

Please adivse do u fore see any issues in this.

Thanks

Hi Saikishore,

I think steps 3 and 4 should be interchanged or I can say they are same as i can see it. My understanding is that when you make delivery you are doing goods issue. Hence delivery (step 4) should happen before final issue (step 3) or rather delivery leads to final issue and they occur simultaneously.

Hai Shrikanth,

I have already verified.... When you do PGI , Reservation created against the network is not getting closed though the network is assigned to same WBSE from which we posted delivery.

The reservation to network and PGI to stock in WBSE has no relation as Reservation is for Network.

So I think Sequence of 3 and 4 does not matter. However I will verify.

I am closing this posting.

Thanks
