Notified quantity exceeds quantity ordered 7 EA-Message no. ME161 in Inbound delivery in WM

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

My client is facing issue in inbound delivery 19XXXXXXX..in PO and GR the quantity was 7 CS and in delivery they mistakenly mentioned putaway for 6 cs quantity and deliver quanity mentiined is 7 CS and they are trying to change the delivery quantity to 6 because we canno change the putaway quantity as it is graded out. so we canot edit putaway quantity.

PO, GR, and GI also done ..

Notified quantity exceeds quantity ordered                7 EA

Message no. ME161

Diagnosis

The total notified quantity is greater than the ordered quantity including the overdelivery tolerance. If you do not increase the ordered quantity accordingly in this case, a goods receipt (GR) in the amount of the notified quantity is not possible. This is because the GR is limited to the ordered quantity plus overdelivery tolerance.

Procedure

You must reduce the notified quantity, so that it does not exceed the ordered quantity. Alternatively, you must increase the ordered quantity in the purchase order after posting the inbound delivery.

my question is if i change cancel all the GR, GI documents and then changing the quanity from 7 to 6 and then doing GR with 6 quantities will satisy the above error "Notified quantity exceeds quantity ordered                7 EA" ?

Kindly le me know the solution. Also ihave ried for Delivery quantity same as putaway quanity option in inbound delivery under Edit option.But it is not geting resolved?

Also TO (Transfer orders) got confirmed....kindly let me know how to proceed further. thanks in advance.

In regard to your question: "my question is if i change cancel all the GR, GI documents and then changing the quanity from 7 to 6 and then doing GR with 6 quantities will satisy the above error "Notified quantity exceeds quantity ordered 7 EA" ?"

The answer is: presumably yes. The ME161 message is based on a check of all inbound deliveries (even the non-put-away ones!) against the PO/scheduling agreement's quantity.

I have recently faced a similar issue and summarised my findings here: https://ecosio.com/en/blog/how-to-debug-sap-message-me161-the-notified-quantity-exceeds-the-ordered-...

Dear Jinoy,

To confirmed quanity 6 (they have created 6 individual TO's)

putawa quatity 6

PO & GR & Delivery qunatity 7

Now Diifference qty is 1 because user wrongly put putaway qty=6 instead of 7 qty in delivery.

kindly advise.

Thanks,

Hi,

Cancel the TO using LT15 transaction, then you should be able to edit the picking quantity.

Dear Shiva ,

Could you check whether 1 unit is posted to difference bucket while confirming , because i am  trying to understand as how  GR is made for 7 units  , when TO is created and confirmed only for 6 units.

As requested please post screen shots for better understanding of situation.

Thanks
