MIGO vs. VL32N and Stock Type

[jeremysmith2]

Does anyone know why MIGO allows the stock type to be changed at time of posting GR, but the same cannot be done in VL32N for inbound deliveries? The only way to change the stock type in case of inbound delivery is to delete the delivery, change the stock type on the PO and recreate the inbound delivery. Obviously this is a burdensome process.

We have cases where the receiving staff makes the determination at time of GR to post certain stock into quality inspection, for example if the stock has signs of shipping damage, etc and the inability to change the stock type is a serious concern.

If we can somehow manage to customize VL32n to open up field INSMK to change, are we running any risk of data inconsistencies? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks James. I saw that OSS note and understand that standard functionality does not allow change. I'm just wondering why not since its not an issue when receiving by MIGO.

We can change the stock type inbound delivery .In goods movement tab you can see stock type column there you can change stock type as per your requirement.

Sridhar you are correct that the field is available under the goods movement tab, but it is not editable. At least not in standard ECC6. If this field is editable for you, have you done some customization to allow it?

I am working in 4.7.System is allowing to change stock type for HIDN item category.So could you please check your item category with HIDN.

[jeremysmith2]

Our item category is ELN. Let me see if changing the item category has any impact and I'll report back.

Thanks again for your feedback.
