My class this semester is working through some of the Global Bike case studies. We recently completed the initial case study where a new customer is created, an inquiry, quotation, sales order, etc. through to payment.
Dataset 56 appears to have what I am guessing is a configuration problem that I have not yet been able to find the source of.
In short, orders against plant 56A2 do not result in stock status changes until the post goods issue process.
This first manifests itself after creating a sales order. When one reviews the stock overview for plant 56A2 the stock overview list shows a quantity of 0 for sales orders of the items. I have both reviewed the student's work and keyed in 2 sets of the sequence myself and get this same result. In reviewing the sales order itself against a known good sales orders, all the fields are populated the same (except with changing references to sales organizations, plants, etc. based on the dataset number).
If one selects a line item on the sales order itself and selects Display Availability, there is a correct indication of the number of units in storage location 30--so unlike the above, everying on this screen everything appears to be correct. It does show the correct plant.
When one initates the delivery process, no items are shown in scheduled for delivery for the plant.
When one picks the merchandise (against sloc 30 and the correct plant), there is no change in the stock overview.
Only once one has posted goods issue is there a change in the stock overview: a scheduled for delivery quantity is shown along with a deduction in unrestricted use stock.
I'm inclined to think that for some reason dataset 56 is configured slightly differently in this regard than the other datasets. Can anyone point me to the specific source of the problem or how to correct it?
Edited to add: A student question motivated my initial investigation, and all of the above is based on my walking through the sequence 'starting over.' I just went back to the student's work to see what might be going on there. The same inventory status issues as above are there, but the student cannot begin the delivery process. When attempting to do so one is told that the order cannot be delivered. The long text in the display log indicates "Copying is not poss. because an entry is missing in Table TVCPL:AF"
