3355516 - System Allows To Receive Excess Quantity From Supplier

Symptom

System allows to receive more than the ordered quantity from supplier.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Inbound Logistic work center. 
  2. Navigate to the Inbound Delivery Notifications view. 
  3. Search for the relevant notification, select it and choose the Post Goods Receipt button. 
  4. In the post goods receipt screen enter a value more than the Planned Quantity.
  5. The system does not stop from saving and creating an inbound supplier delivery with the excess quantity.  

The expectation is that once the quantity exceeds the planned one, the following up document cannot be created.

 

 

Cause

There is no option in the system to set a hard check for over/under delivery of To-Stock items. Instead, the Post Goods Receipt screen will only display an information/warning message informing the user that there is an over delivery.

The reason is to allow real world flexibility. It could happen that more goods are received into the warehouse than the previously ordered quantity(mistake from supplier, lot restrictions etc.) .

In these cases excess stock are received at the beginning and system allows to return the extra goods later.

Resolution

It's not possible to add a hard check here and stop system from receiving more than the planned quantity.
