 Quantity Distribution for Goods Receipts

Use

Quantity distribution lets you generate several goods receipt items for a purchase order or production order item on goods receipt. This may be necessary when, for example, a delivery for a purchase order item consists of various batches.

For SAP Mill Products this function has been supplemented by the following functions to meet sector-specific requirements:

This function can greatly reduce entry effort for quantity distribution over several goods receipt items and for classification of the corresponding batches.

Integration

This function is available to you in the Goods Movements (MIGO) transaction for goods receipts for purchase orders and production orders and also in the Enter Time Ticket for Production Order transaction (CO11N – Confirmation transaction) .

Prerequisites

  • The function is implemented in the following Business Add-Ins (BAdI):

    • in the BAdI /SAPMP/SPLIT_POPUP for the Goods Movements (MIGO) transaction

    • in the BAdI /SAPMP/SPLIT_CO11N for the Enter Time Ticket for Production Order transaction (CO11N)

      If you want to use the function, you must activate BAdI implementation /SAPMP/SPLIT_POPUP and/or /SAPMP/SPLIT_CO11N for this BAdI.

Features

If you have to enter several goods receipt items for a purchase order or production order item, you can enter them in the Distribute Quantity dialog box. You branch to this dialog box

  • using the Distribute Quantity pushbutton in the Goods Movements transaction

  • using the Splitting pushbutton in the Confirmation transaction in the Goods Movements screen

If you have selected a characteristic display in the item overview of the relevant transaction before you branch to this dialog box, fast entry of characteristics is also available to you here. This means that you can classify the batch of a new goods receipt item directly when you enter the item without having to branch to the characteristic value assignment screen.

If you have not selected a characteristic display or if fast entry of characteristics is not active for a material, the system branches to the standard dialog screen for quantity distribution.

The Number field in the Distribute Quantity dialog box is a further entry aid. It allows you to copy items you have entered in the dialog box.

Note Note

If you are working with length-based materials, the system automatically generates a matching number of goods receipt items in the Distribute Quantity dialog box. The system calculates the number of items from the goods receipt quantity and the value of the individual length characteristic.

End of the note.

Example Example

You post a goods receipt for 1000 m of cable for a purchase order item. Each cable has an individual length of 100 m, so assign 100 m to the individual length characteristic. On the basis of this data, the system automatically generates ten goods receipt items in the dialog box Distribute Quantity .

End of the example.

Activities

If you want to copy a goods receipt item in the Distribute Quantity dialog box, you must proceed as follows:

  1. Select the item you want to copy.

  2. Enter the number of identical items you want in the Number field.

    Example Example

    If you enter 6 in the Number field, the system generates five new items.

    End of the example.

  3. Choose ENTER.

    The system generates the desired number of items. With the exception of the batch number, the data of the items is identical; in other words, the quantity, storage location and characteristic value assignments are the same for all items.
