Receiving a message that PO is still under process.

Hello Gurus,

I created a PO for account assignement:Order in ME21N.

I received a PO number and when iam doing MIGO its showing as document still under process. I tried this in sandbox.

I was doing this process to check if we need GR/IR binding indicators for doing MIGO for account category Assets, Cost centers, Orders.

Could anyone suggest me if we need to check for GR Ind.firm and IR ind.firm in tcode OME9 for account assignement categories.

Why do we need GR/IR Binding incators and whats its use in doing MIGO and MIRO?

Suggestions needed please.

Hi Monu,

this is an indicator which decides if goods receipt is mandatory or no....because...usually...ASSet nd Cost center related material are used for consumption....so some times you dont need a goods receipt...If you set this indicator...until nd unless u do the goods receipt u cannot use that material....

Another example.. :

lets say u got a sales order from a customer....nd if u dont have stock, u will send the material through some third party nd ask him to directly ship it to the customer....where u dont need to do the good receipt in this case.......

I know the example is not related to ASSET or COST CENTER...but this will help u understand for wat those indicators are used for...

Usually thats a question to the business team...they have to decide if they want GR or IR as mandatory...

Regards,

Saril
