Unit 5: Inventory Management Goods Receipts


In this unit, we will cover the following: Goods Receipt using Inbound Delivery Goods Receipt for Purchase Order Goods Receipt for Unknown PO Goods Receipt for Production Order Goods Receipt Configuration

Each section will include a detailed demonstration followed by a student exercise.

Let's review what we learned about Goods Receipts in Unit 4.

A goods receipt (GR) is the transaction that brings inventory into stock and thereby increases the quantity (and perhaps value) of goods in stock. You can receive goods externally from a vendor or internally from production or another facility. A goods receipt can refer to a reservation (used when your company is not using the Purchasing module of Materials Management) or an order (production order or purchase order), or it can be an other goods receipt, which is often used to load stock initially into SAP. A reservation simply puts a 'hold' on stock.

A goods receipt can be planned or unplanned. A planned GR comes from a reservation or from a purchase or production order.

When a goods receipt is entered for a PO, the Purchasing agent can see the material document in the PO history. Value on the accounting document is based on the PO value. The stock resides in the storage location indicated on the PO, but that can be overridden on the GR and posted to unrestricted stock, quality inspection stock, or blocked stock.

Stock posted to blocked stock locks the invoice so the vendor cannot be paid until the blocked stock moves to unrestricted stock. Blocked stock is neither available in quantities nor valuated.

ERPtip

To view inventory posted to blocked stock for a specific material master, use the transaction MM03 and display the Plant Stock view.

Goods are received into stock or direct consumption (as when posted directly to a cost center). Special stock types for sales order stock or project stock do not update consumptions statistics in the material master record.

Goods received into Inventory update the General Ledger (G/L) account for inventory when stored. Goods received for consumption debit the appropriate account assignment object (like cost center or asset).

Vendors may under or over deliver on a PO GR based on the settings on the PO. The screen capture below shows where to maintain the under and over delivery tolerances on a PO.

Receiving full quantity against a PO checks the Deliv: compl. indicator. If you have no further quantities to receive but the PO quantity is Open, you must manually select this checkbox to remove the open quantity from commitments and to eventually archive the PO.

Goods Receipt Using Inbound Delivery


SAP provides functionality to optimize receiving multiple purchase orders at the receiving dock using an Inbound Delivery. The Inbound Delivery is a document that is created in advance of receiving the goods. The Inbound Delivery can also be created at the time the goods are received at the dock, which is less common since you loose most of the benefit of performing the work in advance of the delivery arriving.

The inbound delivery is also known as the Shipping Notification, or Advanced Ship Notice. It allows users to create a document that details all items in an upcoming shipment for a vendor. If you have a vendor that combines multiple purchase orders into one shipment, this is an excellent tool to optimize the receiving process. If you can request your vendor to send you the list (either manually or electronically) of purchase order items in an expected delivery, you can enter the inbound delivery in advance; then when the items arrive, the receiving dock simply receives the entire shipment instead of receiving it one PO line item at a time.

The purchasing agent can set up the Purchase Order line items to expect a Shipping Notification from the vendor before the receiving process can start. The setting for this type of confirmation can be found on the detail portion, Confirmation tab of the purchase order, as shown below:

Notice the user has selected confirmation control Z001 and the conf. req. checkbox has been selected. The confirmation control key, Z1, defines which confirmations are expected. The shipping notification is one of the confirmation categories associated to the confirmation control key, Z1 as shown below:

Rev. 01/08/10

Inventory Management ECC 6.0

Klee Associates, Inc.

Unit 5: Inventory Management Goods Receipts

The confirmation required (ConfReq) checkbox defines whether an entry for the confirmation categories associated to the confirmation control key is required prior to SAP allowing a user to enter a goods receipt against the purchase order line item. If the box has been selected, and a user attempts to perform a goods receipt, the user will be presented with a message that states the following:

If the user double-clicks on the message to view more information, the following screen will appear:

As you can see, the information provided here does not provide a lot of detail. SAP does not suggest checking that all confirmations have been entered for this PO, so be careful when using this functionality.

In the following demonstration, we will perform the following tasks: 1. Copy an old purchase order to create two new POs 2. Review the PO settings for confirmation control 3. Create an inbound delivery against the two purchase orders 4. Perform a goods receipt for the inbound delivery 5. Review the purchase order history of the two purchase orders

Notice the 'Del.Completed' Ind. Setting. It is currently set to 'Set Automatically'.

This indicator drives whether or not the delivery complete indicator is flagged on the Purchase Order line item, which basically 'closes' the line item in SAP for further expected receipts. In the Goods Receipt Configuration section of this unit, we will discuss the configuration behind the indicator. For now, here is what indicating that a line item is completed for delivery does: Item is considered closed, even if the delivery quantity was less than the ordered quantity. No additional deliveries are expected, but SAP does not prevent additional deliveries unless they are over the delivery tolerance. If another goods receipt occurs, the item will be available to receive, but no proposed quantity is suggested in the quantity field. If the full line item quantity is delivered, the flag is irrelevant.

5. Change the quantity of one of the line items to receive the item short. This will preserve the remaining quantity for a future demonstration/exercise. Record the PO number of the line you received short: __________________

6. Post the goods receipt.

Goods Receipt for Purchase Order


In the first unit, we demonstrated and practiced how to perform a goods receipt for a purchase order. We also indicated that we would explore how to search for the PO number and perform the goods receipt using the MIGO_GR transaction, which is what will do in this section. We will also look at some of the other options when performing the goods receipt, we will discuss tolerances, and from where some of the data is copied.

Demonstration: Goods Receipt for Purchase Order using MIGO_GR


1. Using the menu path: Logistics Materials Management Inventory Management Goods Movement Goods Receipt GR for Purchase Order

Or, transaction MIGO_GR

2. Change the action and document type to the following, and instead of manually entering your PO number, we will use the search function.

3. To search for your PO number, click the field.

The list below includes all POs for material 2097. Unfortunately, it does not restrict the list to only OPEN POs. You can work with your development team to modify or add custom tabs that include that logic.

5. An alternative option is to search by Vendor, which results in the following:

SAP also provides some reports, such as ME2L and ME2M that will allow you to report on Open Purchase Orders, which would be a useful tool for your receiving department to learn if your developers cannot support the changes to the search screens and they have problems finding the Purchase Order numbers in SAP.

6. Once you have reviewed some of the search options, select your PO number from one of the lists and press Enter twice to reach this screen:

7. The next topic of discussion is on goods receipt tolerances. Click on the Purchase Order History tab.

Klee Associates, Inc.

Unit 5: Inventory Management Goods Receipts

Double-click on the Purchase Order number to display the PO.

Once you are displaying the PO, click on the Delivery tab and let's review the tolerances set up on this PO.

This particular PO does not have an over or under delivery tolerance. Therefore, SAP will not allow an overdelivery quantity, but will allow any amount of underdelivery.

For example, if the user enters 36 units, but only 35 were specified in the PO, the user will receive a warning or error message as shown in the next screen shot.

Inventory Management ECC 6.0

Rev. 01/08/10

23

Unit 5: Inventory Management Goods Receipts

Klee Associates, Inc.

Whether or not a warning or error message is issued depends on the configuration, which we will discuss in the configuration section of this unit.

If the user enters a quantity less than what appears on the PO, no message will appear. If the PO had a percent of underdelivery, that percent would define what is the minimum percent of delivery that will be accepted. For example, if the order quantity was 40, and there was an underdelivery tolerance of 50%, SAP would not accept a delivery for less than 20 pieces.

8. Now, let's review from where some of the values are populated.

The following values come from the Purchase Order: Material PO Quantity/Ordering Unit of Measure Plant Storage Location (if populated it can be left blank on the PO) Vendor PO number and line item Delivery Date Requisitioner

The following comes from the Inbound Delivery: Qty in Delivery note

The following come from the Material Master: Material Description Material Group Unit of Entry

The following comes from the Information Record: Vendor Material Number (can be overwritten in PO)

The following setting comes from configuration: Delivery complete indicator

Goods Receipt for Production Order


When production completes a finished product, the finished product is received back into inventory and later shipped to a customer. The components used to produce the finished product are removed from inventory and consumed by the production order. Usually, these steps are done via the Production Order Confirmation. If you have a production process that is not in SAP, the process can be done manually via the MIGO transaction. The prerequisite to this occurring is you still need to maintain a production order number against which to post the goods receipt, which also carries some accounting information .

Goods Receipt Configuration


In this section, we will cover the following areas of configuration specific to the Goods Receipt: Tolerance Keys Delivery Completed Indicator Define Screen Layout

Note: We do not cover every area of Goods Receipt configuration, but what we feel are the most important and most commonly used/modified.

Configuration Demonstration: Tolerance Keys


Tolerance Key configuration is not related to goods receipt quantity tolerances, but to tolerances related to the value of the material being received. When you perform a goods receipt, SAP checks to see if the receipt varies from either the PO or Material Master data.

You maintain the tolerance keys per company code.

Two variances are checked when performing a goods receipt:

Variance in PO price quantity PO price quantity is a confusing concept. Here is an example to illustrate the concept. You can maintain a PO quantity in one unit of measure, say EACH, and the PO price in another unit of measure, say KG. You would need to maintain the conversion factor in the Material Master from EACH to KG. This variance gets checked only if the user is entering the GR in the order price quantity unit of measure (KG) instead of the order quantity (EACH). This tolerance can have two values one that provides an ERROR and one that provides a WARNING.

Inventory Management ECC 6.0

Rev. 01/08/10

35

Unit 5: Inventory Management Goods Receipts

Klee Associates, Inc.

Variance for moving average price of material If a material is maintained with price control V moving average SAP will automatically adjust the value of the materials in inventory based on the purchase price in the PO. Therefore, it is good practice to set up a variance level at which SAP issues a warning message if the PO price differs greatly from the current moving average price in material master.

The tolerance limit for both the lower and upper limit is 50%. Let's look at an example to illustrate.

You maintain a PO quantity unit of measure in EACH. You maintain a PO price unit of measure in KG. You enter a Goods Receipt using the PO price unit KG. You enter an invoice receipt that would result in a price variance of 50% or more and you would receive an error message.

Configuration Demonstration: Delivery Completed Indicator


The delivery completed indicator configuration is used to define the default value of this field found on the Purchase Order tab of the goods receipt screen.

4. Check the setting.

If it is selected, the delivery completed indicator will default if the quantity received is within the under/over delivery tolerance specified on the Purchase Order line item.

The indicator is only relevant when the delivered quantity is less than the ordered quantity because it causes SAP to consider it fully delivered. If the delivery quantity equals the ordered quantity the indicator is not required to be set to mark it as complete and for SAP to consider the line item closed.
