 Reversing a Planned Goods Issue

Purpose

If a material movement that was entered with reference to a reservationis to be reversed (or if the quantity withdrawn is returned, for example because it is not needed until later), you can enter the reversal (or return) with reference to either of the following two documents:

  • the material document with which the goods issue was posted

  • the reservation

In both cases, the system references the reservation during reversal; the "old" reservation is re-activated and the open required quantity in the reservation is increased by the quantity reversed.

Note Note

If you enter the reversal without referencing the material document or the reservation, the quantity in the reservation is still considered withdrawn, meaning that the request no longer exists.

End of the note.
Referencing the Material Document

If during the reversal you reference the material document with which the goods issue was posted, the system proposes for reversal only the quantity withdrawn with this material document.

Referencing the Reservation

If during the reversal you reference the reservation, the system proposes for reversal the total quantity withdrawn to-date, even if several withdrawals (material documents) were posted for the reservation.

Results of a Cancellation/Reversal

Regardless of whether you reference the material document or the reservation, all of the updates carried out during the goods issue posting are reversed as a result of a reversal. The most important results of a reversal for a reservation are listed here:

  • A material document (reversal document) is created. This document serves as proof of the reversal.

  • An accounting document is created. This document contains the account postings that are necessary for the reversal.

  • The following stocks are increased due to the reversal:

    • Total valuated stock

    • Unrestricted-use stock

    • Reserved stock

  • The consumption of the material is reduced by the quantity reversed.

  • The following updates occur in the reservation item :

    • The quantity withdrawn is reduced by the quantity reversed.

    • If the reservation item was marked as completely issued, the final issue indicator is reset.

    Note Note

    You cannot reactivate deleted reservations. If you post a reversal for a material that is still needed, but the reservation was already deleted, you must enter a new reservation manually.
