Symptom
Multiple consignment pick up documents can be created with the same item lines and quantities for one consignment fill-up order
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create consignment fill-up order
- Create delivery for consignment order
- Create warehouse picking tasks
- Post goods issue
- Create consignment pick-up order
- Create delivery for pick-up order
- Post Goods Receipt for delivery
- Create warehouse tasks
- Repeat steps 5-8
Cause
It is possible to create more than one Consignment pick up document because the system does not validate the referenced quantity during pick-up order creation to ensure it is not exceeding the fill-up order quantity.
Additionally, the system does not check real-time consignment stock at the time of order creation — regardless of whether the order is created with or without reference.
As a result, if multiple pick-up orders are created, and then collectively exceed the available consignment stock, the goods receipt for the delivery will fail.
Resolution
If it is necessary to prevent creation of consignment pick-up orders with referenced quantities exceeding the original, implement a validation using the BAdI SD_SLS_CHECK_BEFORE_SAVE.
If you don't wish to implement the validation of the BAdI SD_SLS_CHECK_BEFORE_SAVE, follow the steps below to prevent duplicated consignment pick-up for the same consignment fill-up:
- Create a bookmark in the app Customer Return – Flexible Analysis and check whether any return orders have already been created for that consignment fill-up order.
- Before creating consignment pick-up, filter by Reference document = <Consignment fill-up number>
- Save the report layout as a bookmark for future usage.
- Whether the consignment pick-up is created with or without reference to a consignment fill-up, it’s recommended to use the Stock Overview app to verify available consignment stock and avoid exceeding the allowed quantity.
If an over-quantity pick-up order has been created, the correct approach is to delete the delivery and sales order.
