Deleted Delivery Note Reversal

[former_member588587]

Dear SD Experts,

I am facing a unique issue.

One of the Users created a Sales Order -f-> Delivery, on let's say 05.07.2012. In the following period, they realized this was incorrect, so hence they reverse the delivery using VL09. However, while doing VL09 the default reversal date is the current date, and without noticing this the user carried out the reversal and deleted the delivery document.

We noticed this now, and we want to reverse this wrongly posted cancellation, and do the cancellation on the date when the original delivery posting was made (to correct the impact on COGS). However, the system has no delivery note any more since it was deleted. In MB51, I can see the Material Document, and reference delivery note number, but now what would be correct steps to carry out this posting.

Honestly, there are lots of such documents lying in the system. The only solution I can think of is:

Create a Dummy Sales Order with a dummy customer, and do the delivery again on the date at which the delivery was wrongly posted.

Then create a Return order, and do PGR, on the date at which the cancellation of the delivery should have been actually done. In this case 05.07.2012.

Can someone please help or advise if there's any other easier way, or if the steps I'm carrying out are correct.

Thanks in advance.

You have mentioned that the delivery was deleted after reversal of goods issue. So write-off the quantity (not sure about movement type, but it might be 333 - check with MM specialist) in the current period and add the same quantity (might be 561 movement type - t.code MIGO) in the original period (check with accounting to open the posting period). Then create a new delivery against the open sales order with correct goods issue date.

You must discuss with the MM and FI specialists to do the above steps. If needed, post this query in MM forum also.

We too are managing the issue the way you are trying

We are also thinking about using some userexit to prevent cancellation of delivery using VL09 on dates other than the original PGI date. That will prevent "errors" by the users in future.
