Hi,

If you have entered confirmation control key (Confirmation tab page) as a Inbound delivery in the PO then it is mandatory to create the inbound delivery using VL31N Transaction. Then only u can do the GR for the inbound delivery using MIGO or VL31N.

If you have not entered any value in the confirmation control key during PO then u can do GR using MIGO only. Tat time no need for inbound delivery (VL31N).

Inbound delivery is just the information or follow up document when the vendor can deliver (Quantity anf delivery date) the material to the plant.

Hi Rama,

GR's for inbound deliveries should be completed via VL32 or VL32N.

GR's for PO should be completed via MIGO.

Please refer to SAP note 199703.

As far as I am aware, you should not GR an inbound delivery using MIGO or any other MB - transaction. This may affect your schedules as MIGO & MB-transactions may not update the movement status of the inbound delivery.

Check it out.

Hello ,

Inbound delivery gives the information what we are going to receive with respect to PO . Here the stock is in transit and not actually received wheras MIGO we actaully confirm that we have received the material physically and hence the stock account and related FI document is posted .

Hope you got some idea .

Hi,

during Inbound delivery creation no accounting is created.we have used this functionality in my previous implemenattion.Usually when the goods is recieved with movement type 103 ,it will be in GR blocked stock during which the stock will not be available for MRP calculations.Hence we have recived the goods initially by performng a Inbound delivery( considers durin MRP calculation ) and then with reference to inbound deleivery number 103 movement was performed.
