Zero Qty billing

[former_member301027]

Dear Gurus,

I have two scenarios.

1. at sales order level 1 have two line items, the 2nd line item quantity is not available in stock, when I create outbound delivery system bring the 2nd line item at delivery level with zero value, and process the same at invoice level as well, result field get freeze at sales order level.

Is there any standard functionality to cover it, or should I adopt the practice to delete the line item at delivery level if quantity is zero.

2. batch management functionality is using, system generate two line items at the time of billing one with zero and one line with actual quantity. can I make setting so that only one line items appear at invoice level.

Regards,

Imran khan

Hi Imran,

For the first problem

Ideally delivery should not allow you to do picking and PGI for the second item. If it is allowing, this material is allowed for negative stock quantity. So do a stock quantity check before PGI and after PGI in MMBE. If stock quantity becomes negative, you should disable the negative stock quantity functionality for this material. For this you can approach the MM consultant. If this is enabled, delivery will not copy the material if there is no stock available in the plant and storage location.

For the second problem,

The main item is the header item which will not have the batch number. The sub item has the batch number. You have enabled both the item categories as relevant for billing. If you make only one of these 2 item categories as relevant for billing, and disable the other, then the relevant item alone will appear in the billing document. The other item will not appear.

Having said that I dont see any problem even if both the items are coming except for VBRP getting filled with unnecessary data.

Try these and update.
