Not able to Post Return Delivery using MIGO movement type 122 for Text Item

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a requirement where we:

1.) Create a PO for the "text" item using ME21N.

2.) Post GR using MIGO

3.) Post Return Delivery using MIGO wit movement type 122, with "Return Delivery" flag set.

System doesnot process the document for the "TEXT" items.

When the same steps are followed for the Material based PO..all the documents are created as mentioned in the above steps above.

There are few points to mention:

1.) The delivery type, item category in both cases are the same

2.) Hence all the related settings for eg. Incompleteness in delivery creation, copy control would be the same.

But have my doubts with the setting, should we not create separate Delivery type, item category for the text based items?

Any useful pointers from Gurus will be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I agree that we need to stock the material, before we could use return delivery.

But SAP did provide some solution:

___________________________________________________________________________________

In the delivery, material-free purchase order items with account assignment can be displayed as text items, if you implement Note 384075.

To date, corresponding material-free text items are not provided for outbound delivery processes/return delivery processes.

Solution

Implement the attached correction instructions.

In addition, where necessary set up a new return delivery item category ZRLT, which displays material-free text items for return deliveries (in the standard RLL). This new item category is basically a copy of the standard item category RLLN as regards the entries in the following tables:

TVAP (Order item category)

TVLP (Delivery item category)

TVCPL (Copying control)

In the TVLP table, deactivate the following for ZRLT where necessary:

TVLP-KOMRL (Picking relevancy)

TVLP-LGOZW (storage location required)

Control the schedule line category assignment in the TVEPZ table in such a way that the system finds a (new) schedule line category that does not contain any movement type in the TVEP table. You should therefore not use schedule line category RL.

In the item category determination for the delivery (Table T184L), add the following entry for determining the ZRLT:

RLL _ TEXT _ ==> ZRLT

Note that during both the inbound deliveries and the return deliveries, you can only transfer such text items to a GI material document/GR material document if you implement modification Note 330572. In the standard system, you receive an entry "Confirm activity" in the delivery document flow.

___________________________________________________________________________________

So i believe it is possible to post and i might be missing some config or addtional notes in the system.

Still, if you guys have any suggestions/advise then do let me know.

Thank you

Deepak

hi,

As it is a text item ie. with the account assignment cat, so while GR you directly post it to the consumable account, ie. the material is directly consumed but not stored..so if it is consumed then how can you take it back,...

Pls check..

Hope it helps..

Hi,

While procuring text material ie without Material master you might be given Account assignment categorey. When you done GR the material will be posted to consumption for account assignment.

The material stock will not be there.For posting return delivery the stock must be in unrestricted or blocked stock.
