3075450 - Wrong Identified Stock Proposed by The System When Posting Goods Issue

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

  1. Go to the work centre Outbound Logistics.
  2. Select the Delivery Proposals view.
  3. Search for the respective Reference ID. 
  4. 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.
