 Goods Receipt Reversal with PO Price Quantity Variance Locate this document in the navigation structure

In the purchase order, a purchase order price unit (OPUn) different to the purchase order unit (OUn) has been defined.

A variance in purchase order price quantity at goods receipt applies in the following cases:

  • Goods Receipt Before Invoice Receipt

The ratio (goods receipt quantity in purchase order price units) : (goods receipt quantity in purchase order units) is different to the ratio (ordered quantity in purchase order price units) : (ordered quantity in purchase order units).

  • Invoice Receipt After Goods Receipt

The ratio (goods receipt quantity in purchase order price units) : (goods receipt quantity in purchase order units) is different to the ratio (invoice quantity in purchase order price units) : (invoice quantity in purchase order units).

The system posts goods receipts and return deliveries with a different purchase order price unit as follows:
