Reversing Partial Goods Receipts for Inbound Deliveries (SAP Library - Goods Receipt Process for Inbound Deliveries)

Reversing Partial Goods Receipts for Inbound Deliveries

Use

You can reverse previously posted partial goods receipts at material document level. You can cancel individual or all the material documents. You cannot cancel partial quantities within material document items. You can only cancel the entire document created and then return transfer the quantities again.

Prerequisites

You have posted a partial goods receipt for an inbound delivery, which you want to reverse.

Procedure

To reverse a partial goods receipt, proceed as follows:

In the SAP Menu, choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Inbound Process ® Goods Receipt for Inbound Delivery ® Inbound Delivery ® Post Goods Receipt ® Cancellation and enter the inbound delivery number for which you want to reverse the partial goods receipts.

Select the material documents for which you want to reverse the partial goods receipt, and cancel these documents.

The goods movement status of the inbound delivery changes as follows:

A – Goods movement not yet started, if all goods receipt documents have been canceled

A – Goods movement partially completed, if not all goods receipt documents have been canceled

Note

You can display the individual partial goods receipts using the document flow for the delivery with the existing material documents.

Posting to a Prior Period After Partial Goods Receipt Reversal

If, during partial goods receipt posting, confirmation of putaway orders generates material documents, then after one or more of these documents is canceled (MM posting to a prior period) you can also post the WM stock back to a prior period.

From the SAP menu choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Inbound Process ® Goods Receipt for Inbound Delivery ® Putaway ® Cancel Transfer Order ® Return Transfer for Inbound Delivery.

Create a WM return transfer order, which will be used to remove the putaway goods from storage again.
Create a putaway order and confirm it, for example, in order to perform a new partial goods receipt posting.

Note

Note, that the system always proposes the complete quant stock for a delivery item for a return transfer. This quantity does not necessarily match the quantity in the transfer order.
