3061714 - Incorrect Target Logistics Area Proposed When Posting Goods Receipt

Symptom

  • During posting goods receipt against Purchase Order 1 (1 represents the Purchase Order's ID), the automatically proposed target Logistics Area for the product ABC (ABC represents the ID of the product) is XYZ (XYZ represents the Logistics Area's ID).  
  • In the Material Flow Rules for the respective Site you have maintained Put-Away Strategy: Last PutAway for the Destination rule.
  • As you have already received partial quantities of the product ABC with the same Purchase Order 1, where the target Logistics Area had been manually changed to DEF (DEF represents another Logistics Area's ID with logistics use "Inspection"), you expect that now the proposed target Logistics Area will be again DEF (based on the maintained Put-Away Strategy). However, this is not the case. 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the work center Inbound Logistics.
  2. Select the Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search for the Purchase Order 1. 
  4. Select button Post Goods Receipt. 

Result: The proposed target Logistics Area is different than the one you would like to use.

Cause

The reason for the expected Logistics Area not being automatically proposed by the system is because of the respective Inspection Plan.

For the Purchase Order 1, the corresponding Inspection Plan does not have the "Inspection Stock" field selected. Only when this field is marked as "Separation by Logistics Area" the system will search for a Logistics Area with Logistics Use "Inspection" (which is the case for DEF), otherwise the default Logistics Area usage maintained in the Logistics Model is taken into account.

Resolution

This is an expected behavior. 

You need to select the "Separation by Logistics Area" option for the field "Inspection Stock" in the respective Inspection Plan so that logistics area DEF with logistics use "Inspection" will be proposed as target logistics area.
