GR of boxes conatining PO items

[ali_dai]

Hi all,

I have a customer who creates a PO for i.e 50items.

The vendor delivers the items in boxes i.e 3 boxes.

The warehouse receives the 3 boxes and send them to different departments for actual GR.

My client want to post this movement of the delivery of the 3 boxes in the system and that these boxes have been sent to each department (st. location).

The client is in apparel business.

any input is much appreciated.

Another possible solution, is to use field MSEG-WEANZ, you can track how many "containers" were used to pack the material that you are receiving, i.e. you receive 50 t-shirts (EA as UOM) on 3 BOXES (MSEG-WEANZ).

Aim of this field is just to enter qty of containers, usually for labeling purposes. Its not related to ECC Wharehouse, so you dont need activate WH.

Hi,

50 items in 3 boxes- how you will divide equally?

Better create material with Base Unit of Measure Box in Basic data -1 view and Unit of Issue as EA in Plant and storage data-1 views. Now create PO 3boxes and receive 3boxes(MIGO), and then issue 3boxes differently to different department's(MB1B)

OR

Create material with Base Unit OF Measure as EA in Basic -1 and Unit of Issue as Box in Plant and Storage data-1 view. Now create PO for 50items and receive material as 50item(MIGO), and then issue material with Box to different department(MB1B)

Dear,

What is the conversion for boxes?

So you create storage locations as per your departments and while doing GRN for respective boxes, assign respective department storage location.So that stock will be shown department wise for same material.

In material master SAP has option of having different UOM for procurement and consumption.So maintain the conversion rules and UOMs in material master.

Hi,

This is not a different UoM for the  material. We buy shirts and vendor delivers the shirts in boxes. We do not know how many shirts are there and which one is in which box.

And based on what kind of information you are then sending the 3 boxes to 3 different departments?

Dear,

on what UOM basis you process invoice? As per my knowledge any company will mention the no. of items in the box.No one can send simply with out any label in the box with out mentioning proper details in the box.

The issue is that we are talking for fashion business. So what they do is they create a PO and receive three boxes which they sent to different corners based on the  brands of the items in the PO.

Then the corners perform the GR. If the corner opens the box and finds some clothes that are of a brand of another corner they sent these items of the box to this corner for GR.

What is their request is how to control the boxes and where the boxes are. We do not know what they contain actually. Inside these boxes the PO items must be there.

If you want see movements in SAP and track your boxes, then you have to receive it immediately at the initial reception, then you do movements with 311.

I personally think it is a total waste of resources and time to receive something and then moving it to 3 potentially wrong departments which again moving  it to the better department after they opened it. Move all 3 boxes to just 1 department have them open and distribute it.

Hi Juergen,

My issue is how to perform the GR of the boxes. I was thinking of creating a packaging material and enter in on the PO, what do you think about that?

Hello ,

If you were created PO for 50 Items , where mentioned EA as Unit of Measure .

You don't know how vendors send the material to you.

If he sends the Items in Boxes,if that is the case you would maintain Box as alternate unit of measure in Material master,

When you receive materials in Boxes, but your MMBE (Stock Overview) will show in Base unit of measure only.

or else create two info record for Material and Vendor based on Unit of Measure. And create PO for EA only , if he send the material in Boxes, then come back to PO and change the Unit of Measure and if send in original UOM then no issue, receive Material as it is.

Before that your Material should contain Alternate unit of Measure.

Thanks

Receiving and tracking boxes would require Handling unit management

Any ideas?
