Symptom
While posting a goods issue, the system automatically proposes the identified stock which has the earliest expiration date. For that purpose a Material Flow Rule is being created for the Source Determination at Logistics Area level with the FIFO strategy.
However, the system is proposing a different identified stock.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the work centre Outbound Logistics.
- Select the Delivery Proposals view.
- Search for the respective Reference ID.
- Choose Post Goods Issue.
> The proposed identified stock is not the one with the earliest expiration date.
Cause
In the Location Layout, a Material Flow Rule is being maintained for Source Determination only at Logistics Area level with the FIFO strategy. However, when the system allocates the Identified Stock / Logistics Area, it does this at Site level.
Resolution
Maintain the FIFO Picking Strategy at Site level and not only for the Logistics Area.
