Inbound Delivery 'WM Status' = not relevant

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi,

I am creating inbound delivery with reference to PO having movement type 101. I have already maintained the WM Views in my material master. Also, the indicated storage location in the PO and inbound delivery is WM managed. I have also set the item category of my material as 'relevant for putaway/picking'.

My problem is that when I create the inbound delivery, the WM Status field is set to 'No WM trnsf ord reqd'.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

Also, I have a field in the status overview tab in the inbound delivery named 'In Plant' and it is colored red, thus indicating it is a required processing for the delivery. Can anyone tell me how to process this? or how to make this field not required?

Thanks!

I'd think of only two places to check:

1. 'ELN' item category marked for 'relevant for putaway' - comes standard

2. Storage location entered does have a warehouse assigned

Can you check if the Warehouse number is populated (LIKP-LGNUM) in the the delivery? If not, then the assignment of storage location and warehouse does not exist in customization. Also, can you re-check the item category ELN for that flag?

Hi Kalyan,

I've checked LIKP-LGNUM and the warehouse number assigned to the storage location specified in the PO and inbound delivery is in that field.

As for the item category, I made another item category namely 'ZELN' and it is already relevant for putaway. This item category appears in field LIPS-PSTYV of the inbound delivery that I made.

Is the process for receiving in EHP1 the same as the process in receiving in EHP4? We just had our server upgraded.

Thanks!

Functionally, I do not think of any other parameter that influences that field besides the ones that we looked at. As for EhP's (1-5), there is no change around that area. Since this seems peculiar, I'd rather have a developer debug to identify the root cause.

Hi Kalyan,

Your help is greatly appreciated.

How about the 'In Plant' status in the Status Overview of VL31N? Currently, this is a required field. Do you know the use of this field and how to change this?

Thanks!

I do not think that field has anything to do with this peculiar behavior. As for the field, the field status is updated during preliminary GR's that are used in conjuction with inbound shipments; essentially to register the goods prior to actual receipt.

Will the account assignment category in the PO have an effect in this? We have set an account assignment category where the G/L account and cost center are not required fields.

That should be it. Since you are using an account assigned PO, the WM status will appear 'Blank'. Although you may be able to key in the storage location and perform a receipt, the material document will not have a storage location since the stock procured will be directly consumed by the account assignment. Note that if it is non-valuated material (such as UNBW) then you'll receive the inventory into stock which means the WM status in the delivery will be active for this material.

I found the problem. It's in the material type. In OMS2, the quantity update should be marked.
