Dear gurus,
Let's say that a normal inbound flow is something like this:
PO > Create inbound delivery with reference to PO > inbound shipment > Transfer Order > Confirm Transfer Order > Post Goods Receipt > Putaway
Issue:
My client does not want to create the PO because the PO serves no purpose to them. They want the process to start from inbound delivery.
Question:
1. Can a standalone inbound delivery be created WITHOUT reference to a PO ? If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this standalone inbound delivery.
2. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created automatically with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to trigger the creation of this inbound delivery (I'm not looking for the answer of an inbound delivery creation BAPI to being triggered directly after the creation of the Material Document).
3. Based on standard configuration, can an inbound delivery be created manually with reference to a material document (for eg MIGO Mvt Type 501). Once again, for this scenario, no PO should be involved. If yes, please tell me the configuration and transaction code involved in order to create this inbound delivery.
Thanks.
Hi,
Within standard SAP an inbound delivery can only be created versus a purchasing document PO or SA. In these documents also the relevant confirmation control key needs to be maintained.
The inbound delivery is seen as a confirmation from the vendor that materials are shipped and this confirmation message also informs the receiver about the delivery date of the goods.
Why would you like to establish an inbound delivery without a PO?
Perhaps an alternate solution could be to create automatically a PO based on the goods receipt. For this please
