Hello All,
Our organization has been struggling to understand the best practice for receiving in inbound deliveries(ASNs). As a result we see inbound deliveries in MD04 that have been completed but still show as MRP relevant. I can only imagine this is due to a faulty business process. I have implemented a note which corrects faulty inbound deliveries with returns (ZCORR_EKESMENGE). Recently we have an inbound delivery completely processed without a return which is hanging out in MD04 even through there has been a GR performed.
For quite a long time we used both MIGO_GR, VL32N, and VL06I to receive in ASNs. Recently we moved to using only VL32N to receive in ASNs, however we still use transactions like MIGO and MBST for returns/reversals. I have even seen some config to use the automotive function, even other transactions like VL60P. A recent SAP document I ran into had the following literature:
Make absolutely sure that you do not mix up the goods receipt process for inbound
delivery (for example, transaction VL32N) with the functions you already know, such
as goods receipt (post) for unknown purchase order (transaction MBOA/MIGO), or
cancellation of the goods receipt (transaction VL09 as opposed to MBST/MB0A).
You must organize your tasks in such a way that the goods receipt posting is only
executed using one of the two ways described.
This statement also made consider whether or not we have fully grasped the SAP recommended process for receiving inbound deliveries. My questions to to everyone on the forum is, what are you currently using and do you have a process document you can share? We recently upgraded our instances from 4.7 to ECC6 with support package SAP_APPL 605. Currently most of our business is in the automotive sector.
