delivery to vendor with out reference

[Former Member]

Hi,

A copy of LB dly type with no order reference was created. The objective is to issue materials to vendor via vl01no. Vendor number is entered in the LF partner function, but when a PGI is done, it errors as Enter a vendor for special stock O. There is no field for vendor input. Could some one advise.

thanks

Hi,

You have to know what kind of movement type you want to post with this delivery.

If you copy every setting of delivery type LB, movement tyep will be 541. For 541 movement type, you have to assign a vendor to this movmenet. However, when posting GI from outbound delivery, delivery cannot provide vendor information to MM-IM (FM MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT).

So , you have two options:

1. do modification to fill likp-lifnr (in userexit).

2. or use another movement type.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Harry,

The mov type is 541 in the delivery. However, I tried to fill in LIKP-LIFNR with the vendor number but it wouldn't work still ends up with error. May be i am not populating the field at the right time. I will try with the FM.

I understand it is not advisable to create delivery for subcon with out reference but in certain situations where some low value items like nuts & bolts are to be issued in bulk rather than maintaining them in a BOM and pick them per order.

I will try and let you know the outcome

Thanks once again

Hello,

Delivery Type LB is with reference to subcontractor orders. I just managed to check this issue in IDES and whenn you executing VL01NO (without reference) the default movement type is picked is 601. But as delivery type LB resembles subcontarctor, so the correct movement type for issuing material against your vendor shall be 541.

Also the material which is stated in your delivery is subcontracted material which is managed under specail stock O

I guess when you executing it without reference as per your first thread , it is taking movement type 601 by default.

So you are getting the error which is standard SAP message.

Ideally delivery type LB allways needs ot be created with reference.

Hi,

I guess you have entered the correct ship to party in Delivery.

Customer is entered in venor Masetr and you need to maintain Ship to data in customer master for the customer.

Hope this will help.
