Use

If you post a goods receipt with reference to a purchase order, the system converts every selected order item into a goods receipt item. This means that exactly one goods receipt item is created for each order item.

In some cases, however, several goods receipt items may be required for an order item, for example if:

The following two functions enable these cases to be handled in a single document:

Activities

Distribute Quantity

You use this function to post a partial quantity into quality inspection stock or into goods receipt blocked stock, for example.

To distribute an item’s quantity when you enter a goods receipt with the transaction for goods movements (MIGO), place the cursor on the required line and choose Distribute quantity . A dialog box is displayed in which you can distribute the quantity among several storage locations, stock types, or movement types. You can find out which quantity you have already distributed by choosing Check. The system displays this quantity in the Already distributed: field. If you have distributed the total quantity, you can copy your entries to the item overview by choosing Adopt .

Distributing Quantities Among Storage Locations or Batches

To distribute the delivered quantity among several storage locations or batches, you can use the storage location/batch selection list: In this selection list, you can distribute the quantity of order items among various storage locations or batches. The system creates a goods receipt item for every item on the list.

To distribute the quantity of an order item among various storage locations or batches, enter * in the Storage Location field. In the case of a material that is not handled in batches, the storage location selection list appears. In the case of a material that is handled in batches, the storage location selection list and batch selection list appear.

Storage Location Selection List

If the material is not handled in batches, the storage location selection list contains all of the storage locations at which the material is stored.

Storage Location and Batch Selection List

If the material is handled in batches, the selection list contains all of the batches of the material, with the respective storage location. If you enter a storage location and * in the Batch field, the selection list contains only the batches in the specified storage location.
