Subsequent Delivery (SAP Library - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory (MM-IM))

Subsequent Delivery

Use

In goods-receipt-based invoice verification, you can post goods receipts as subsequent deliveries for previous goods receipts by referencing the original goods receipt document. In this process, the system copies the original reference document number (MSEG-LFBNR) to the new material document, thereby maintaining the link between the goods receipts and the corresponding invoice.

Subsequent deliveries are useful, if, for example:

You reverse a goods receipt after you have entered the corresponding invoice and then want to post another goods receipt

You post a return delivery and want to enter the next goods receipt with reference to the return delivery document so that the link with the invoice remains intact.

Features

You can use the subsequent delivery function for the following business transactions:

Goods receipt (movement type 101)

In this case, you post a further goods receipt for a purchase order (for example, in the case of partial deliveries or additional deliveries).

Return delivery (movement type 122)

In this case, you post another goods receipt after you have entered a return delivery (also refer to Return Delivery).

Reversal of goods receipt (movement type 102)

In this case, you post another goods receipt after you have reversed a goods receipt.
