Link between PO and Inbound Delivery - Delivery confirmation

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a question regarding the link of Purchase Order and Inbound delivery completed indicator.

This is my scenario. I had created a purhase order with qty 10, then i created a Inbound delivery with 8 qty then i did GR with reference to inbound delivery. Then looking at the purchase order , the PO is set to Delv. Completed. Looking also in the doc flow of the inbound delivery, the status is "complete".

Now , my question, if i go to VL31N and input the purchase order , i am still able to see the open qty which is "2". Is there is no way that the SAP will prompt me after i input the PO number in the VL31n as " Delivery completed" message or someting related to that. Since , in the PO its already Delv. completed?

Thanks.

Check the toleance limits set in the delivery tab of purchase order. If the quanytity delivered is with in tolerance limits then system will set delivery completed indicator automatically.

Even though delivery completed indicator set you can further post the GR for remaining qty.

Thanks B K.

Just a confirmation, does this mean that though the PO is already closed but we can still create an inbound delivery and post GR for this? and the link between the inbound delivery and the PO is just the update in Qty and value but for some info like completed delivery , the inbound delivery is not updated?

Delivery completed indicator will be updated in PO once the GR is done but not when inbound delivery created.

But delivery completed indicator will not stop you to create inbound delivery and GR.

Hello,

I had the same scenario...

In this cases I work with MD04.

For the remaining 2 parts a new requirement will be generated automatically and will be shown in this transaction...

Hi,

In any case, do you have any suggestion regarding reports for inbound delivery that will display open PO and the percentage open . not related to Me2n because in ME2N , there is no inbound delivery indicated
