Underdeliveries, Overdeliveries, and Final Deliveries
Purpose
During entry of a goods receipt for an order, the system proposes the open order quantity as the quantity received. If the quantity delivered differs from the open order quantity, you can change the proposed quantity. The system compares the quantity delivered with the open order quantity. The SAP System can therefore determine and report under or overdeliveries immediately.
"Delivery Completed" Indicator
The "delivery completed" indicator specifies whether the delivery for an order is considered complete. This means that no more goods receipts of the material produced are expected for this order. The order then has the status
fully delivered
. If the "delivery completed" indicator is set, the open order quantity becomes zero, even if the full quantity has not been delivered. You can still post goods receipts for remaining quantities, but these no longer change the status.
Note
The functions you can carry out for underdeliveries, overdeliveries, and final deliveries when you receive goods for an order are the same as those you can carry out when you receive goods for a purchase order (refer to Underdeliveries, Overdeliveries, and Final Deliveries ).
