Symptom
- Inventory Ageing data source displays an incorrect "Original Document ID" for serialized product ABC (where ABC is a Serialized Product).
- The Original Document ID is shown as XXX instead of YYY (where XXX and YYY are Consignment Fill-up Outbound Delivery Documents).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Business Analytics WorkCenter.
- Go to Design Datasources view.
- Search for Inventory Ageing for Pre-delivered Stock data source.
- Click Preview.
- Enter Custodian as "DEF" and material as "GHI" (where DEF is custodian id and GHI is material id).
- Click apply and enable all row fields.
- Observe that the Original Document ID is displayed as XXX (where XXX is Consignment Fill-up Outbound Delivery Document).
Cause
The logic behind Inventory Ageing for Pre-Delivered Stock is as follows,
- The system considers the current pre-delivered stock available in the stock overview with the relevant custodian and material.
- For eg. if the product GHI has quantity( 1 EA ) with relevant custodian DEF in consignment stock overview, it will be considered as snapshot quantity.
- Then system checks for the Outbound delivery with consignment fill up for the relevant custodian and material.
- Go to Outbound deliveries view and filter using relevant material and custodian. The Outbound Deliveries will be displayed.
- Now system will start considering the Outbound delivery with consignment fill up in the Descending order of the business transaction date.
- It means the recent one is picked first.
- Then it starts reducing the snapshot quantity (1 EA) till it becomes zero for calculating the ageing of the stock.
- If the first recent confirmation make snapshot quantity to zero then it will show the first Outbound delivery in the report.
- Since XXX is the recent document id and it makes snapshot quantity to zero when reducing, system displays XXX as Original Document in the Datasource.
Resolution
- The Inventory Ageing for Pre-delivered Stock Datasource and proposed logic is only applicable for non-serialized products.
- For serialized products this logic will not work correct.
- Therefore system provides incorrect original document in Datasource.
- Since there is no available report for serialized product, the requirement should be posted in Customer Influence Forum. https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886.
