Delivery should not created until schedule line quantity in STO is fulfilled

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Could anyone please help me on this

My requirement is that delievry should not be able to creat/should be blocked until the full quantity in the scedule line in STO is firmed/committed.

Is there any indicator or SPRO settings that drives this in STO to accomplish this without doing any code changes ?

your help is much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rahul.

complete delivery function is not developed for STOs, please read OSS Note 842829 - Characteristics of replenishment deliveries from STOs

Thanks a lot Jurgen and Dhilipan for your valuable inputs. btw apologies for the late reply due to the holidays over here in oz, still looking for some feasible solution for this.

Now I have been able to commit the full quantity for the schedule line using the back order processing logic(this is a daily background schedule job) . But still SAP creates the delivery only for the available quantity(even though the full quantity has been commited in the schedule line by back order logic) as a result of ATP check for each material.

All I want to do now is to stop creating the delivery for each material unless the full quantity is available (through ATP logic) at the time of creation of delivery for each material. Can you please advice if there are any other workarounds or avenues that I can look for.

Once again thanks and appreciate your valuable feedback.

Kind regards,

RS.

Review the use of  a VOFM at time of delivery creation (copy control) and see if this helps.

You can possibly compare the CVBAP, XVBAP, XLIPS data.

I have done the same concept for free goods because the "E" doesn't actually stop the free goods delivery.

Appreciate your input Waza. I'm just investigating this with my abaper. infact I need to throw some msgs to delivery log while doing the validations. I'm not sure whether I can use VOFM for that purposes. looking the possibility of including my code in one of the methods in standard SAP delivery creation bapis.I will let you know if it succeed.

But still my concern is, how to control the original STO being changed by the users even if I create the delivery (using VOFM or enhancement). I cannot set "delivery complete" indicator after creating the delivery for the first time. It is being set at GR. Bcoz after creating delivery users can still go in to the original STO and increase the requested quantity and schedule line are adjusted accordingly. I'm not sure in that case how the above logic in VOFM will work or what condition I should include in there. Any thoughts please ?

To control the STO quantity changes use a release strategy.

Hi Rahul,

Did you try setting up Complete Delivery in Ship to Party. May be you can try that and check. It will not create Deliveries till the STO can be delivered in total. I believe which will indirectly solve your req.

Thanks
