2046822 - Post Goods Receipt Button Disabled in the Inbound Logistics Work Center

Symptom

A Purchase Order for a “To Stock” material was created, but the Post Goods Receipt button is disabled.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Inbound Logistics Work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search and Select the Purchase Order XYZ (XYZ represents the Purchase Order ID).
  4. Observe that the Post Goods Receipt button is disabled.

Cause

  • The Purchase Order is an Intercompany Stock Transfer, so direct Goods Receipt posting is not allowed.
  • An Inbound Delivery Notification must be created to process the inbound delivery.

Note: If the Business Partner (Seller) is created as an Org Unit, the system treats it as an Intercompany Stock Transfer, and direct Goods Receipt posting is not allowed. The Post Goods Receipt option is therefore disabled to prevent duplicate processing.

To resolve this, either remove the Supplier as an Org Unit or create an Inbound Delivery Notification for the Purchase Order and then proceed with Goods Receipt.

Resolution

  1. Go to Inbound Logistics Work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search and select the Purchase Order XYZ (XYZ represents the Purchase Order ID).
  4. Choose New Supplier Delivery Notification.
  5. Enter the Delivery Notification ID.
  6. Choose Save.

  7. Go to Inbound Logistics Work center.
  8. Go to Inbound Delivery Notifications view.
  9. Search and select the created Inbound Delivery Notification ABC (ABC represents the Inbound Delivery Notification ID).
  10. Proceed with Post Goods Receipt against the Inbound Delivery Notification.
