quantity reduced in PO confirmations

1096 Views

Hi,

My problem is that I cannot understand the logic of reduced quantites for PO confirmation when we deal with combinations of partial GRs and partial confirmations.

We use confirmation control key 0001 with AB order acknowledgement (MRP rel, not GR rel, no GR ass) and LA shipping notification (MRP rel, GR rel, no GR ass).

We have 2 cases:

1. GR to WM warehouse

GR is always done through delivery and LA is used. If we have partial AB, then it is reduced by the GR if the AB delivery date is earlier than the PO schedule line. If AB date is the same or later than schedule line delivery date then the schedule line quantity is reduced and AB is not reduced. This is logical and it works like described in the note 75495 - always the earliest MRP element is reduced.

2. GR to non-WM warehouse

GR is done without delivery and there is no LA. In this case no matter what is the delivery date for AB, the AB is ALWAYS reduced with GR. The schedule line is never reduced, even if it is earlier than AB. And this is a mistery for me because it is not according to the note 75495.

I have configured a new confirmation control key with only order ackowlededgment AB (MRP rel, GR rel, no GR ass) but in this case also always the AB is reduced even though the schedule line has earlier date.

Can somebody please explain this to me?

We would like to program upload of order acknowledgments from file and the mixed logic is a problem.

By the way, could you please advise the best way to upload order acknowledgments AB? As far as I understand from documentation EDI is only suitable for LA upload.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Ewa
