With the Post Goods Receipt for Production Order app, you can post the receipt of goods with reference to a production order. The app proposes a selection of production orders as well as the corresponding material item level that can be posted.

• Post the receipt of goods with reference to a production order.
• Post the receipt of goods with reference to a production order, which contains order items with single account assignments (procurement for direct consumption).
• Post the receipt of goods with reference to a production order, which contains order items with shelf life expiration date or production date. Before you post the goods receipt, the app supports a check of the shelf life expiration date.
  Note

  If the shelf life expiration date check is active and at least one of the fields Minimum Remaining Shelf Life or Total Shelf Life are maintained in the material master, you have to enter the shelf life expiration date or the production date of the material at the time of the goods receipt. The app then checks whether the remaining shelf life is sufficient. The minimum remaining shelf life is a minimum amount of time up to which the material must be in good condition so that the system will accept the goods receipt. Depending on your settings, the fields are displayed and/or are ready for input. You can only enter the shelf life expiration date of a material, if the shelf life expiration date check is active for the plant, active for the used movement type and the minimum remaining shelf life is maintained in the material master record or in the purchase order item.
  Note

  In a cross-plant planning scenario you classify the two or more plants involved as planning plants and production plants:

  • A production plant is a plant in which the production process and the goods issue takes place for the material produced.
  • A planning plant is a plant in which, after order execution (in another plant), the goods receipt takes place for the material produced.
  • The authorization check of the app verifies the planning plant. Note that the app only displays the plant for which you have the appropriate authorization role.
• Displays detailed information about the level on which a material is stored: plant, storage location, or storage bin.
  Note

  The availability of these fields depends on your configuration settings.
• Use the output management and attachment service
• Barcode scanning of purchase orders with mobile devices
  Note

  The prerequisite for barcode scanning is a mobile device with a touch-sensitive display together with an SAP Fiori Client.
• This app includes SAP CoPilot, the digital assistant in the SAP S/4HANA system that includes features such as business context awareness and quick actions to manage follow-on activities directly from the app.

The Create Process Order application is based on SAP transaction COR1, which enables you to create a process order. SAP transaction COR1 is classified in the Production Planning and Control module under application component Process Order.

• Create a process order
• Copy from an existing process order

This Post Goods Movement app is based on SAP transaction MIGO, which enables you to post goods receipts with reference to a purchase order. SAP transaction MIGO is classified in the Materials Management module under application component Inventory Management.

MIGO replaces all the conventional transactions for posting goods movements whose transaction codes start with MB.

Note

As a result of the completely new development of MIGO, the system behavior may differ slightly from the behavior of the old goods movement transactions (MB*). Such variations are due to the different usability concept and do not constitute a functional limitation.

You can use the transaction (MIGO) to post the following goods movements:

• Goods receipts from external procurement
• Goods receipts for orders
• 'Other' goods receipts
• Return deliveries and subsequent deliveries
• Goods issues
• Transfer postings and stock transfers
• Subsequent adjustment for subcontracting

Each time you call up the transaction, the screen is displayed as it was configured the last time you used it. The screen is split into three areas:

• Overview tree

  You can show and hide this area via the Overview on/off button. The overview screen displays the last ten documents for orders, reservations, material documents or held data. You thereby always have an overview of the last activities you carried out.

• Header data

  You can show and hide this area via the Open/close header data button.

• Detail data

  You can show this area by selecting the item for which you want to display detail data in the Line column of the item overview. You can hide the detail data again by choosing Close detail data.

In addition:

• You can maintain and display all the data on one screen. You can find all the information you need for an item without having to switch from screen to screen. You can just hide any detailed information you do not require.
• When you enter goods movements, the system does not issue any messages; before you post the goods movements, you can display all the messages at once.
• Instead of having to enter the same data every time you enter a new goods movement (for example, plant, storage location, or movement type), you enter the data you use most often only once via Settings → Default values. The system then proposes this data every time you enter a goods movement.
• If you do not know the exact name of the material, plant, or storage location, you just enter part of the number or a description. The system then searches for and proposes the complete term for you .

• Choose Functions and Documents
  • In a list field, you can choose which transaction you want to process:
    • Goods receipt
    • Goods issue
    • Return delivery
    • Subsequent delivery
    • Reversal
    • Release GR blocked stock
    • Remove from storage
    • Place in storage (putaway)
    • Transfer posting
    • Subsequent adjustment
  • In a second list field, you define what you want to reference in each transaction. Depending on the selected transaction, you can reference one of the following:
    • Purchase order
    • Order
    • Material document
    • Delivery note
    • Inbound delivery
    • Outbound delivery
    • Shipment
    • Transport identification code
    • Reservation
    • Other
  • You can also display material documents and go from them directly to the Financial Accounting documents.
  • To the right of the list fields, you can enter the desired document number or search for a document. The system displays the search results in a separate window at the bottom of the screen. Within the output of the search results, the functions of the SAP List Viewer are available.
• Define Default Values
  • You can define default values that the system proposes every time you enter a goods movement. For example, you can define a plant, storage location, and movement type as default values. You define these default values via Settings → Default values.
  • It is also possible to change the default values for the movement type and for the special stock indicator directly, without calling the dialog box for the default values. Enter the required movement type and special stock indicator in the first line at the top right in MIGO, and choose Enter.
• Search for Documents
  • You can search for purchasing documents, material documents, reservation documents, and goods receipts for orders. Searching for goods issues for orders is the same as searching for reservations; in both cases, the output list for the reservations is identical. If you reference a reservation when you post a goods movement, you should be careful to reference the correct reservation (receipt or issue). You can carry out the posting regardless of whether it is a receipt reservation or an issue reservation.
  • If you have called up the search function, enter your search criteria in the dialog box. The system displays the search result in a separate window at the bottom of the screen. You can use the functions of the ABAP List Viewer for the output of the search result. In this way, you can sort the documents found according to different criteria. To copy the documents to the item overview in order to process them, double-click.
  • You can close the window containing the search results by choosing Close search result. You can show it again by choosing Display last search result .
  • The search results disappear when you call up the transaction again.
• Enter Material, Vendor, Plant, and Storage Location

  There are more options for entering data for the material, vendor, plant, and storage location. For example, if you do not know the exact storage location number, you just enter part of the storage location number or name and choose Continue. The system displays a dialog box containing all the storage locations in which the entered data appears.

• Select/Deselect Items and Copy Entries
  • To post an item, you have to select each item to be posted using the OK indicator.
  • In the item overview, you can also select or deselect several or all items at once. To do this, set the OK indicator for the first item to be selected or deselected and choose Copy cell contents. The system copies the set indicator from the current item to all items that are below it, even when these are outside the visible area of the item overview.
  • Using this function for copying data that has been entered, you can copy your entries to all other fields that are ready for input (for example, the storage location, the entry quantity, or the stock type).
• Hold and Manage Data
  • If you have to stop processing a goods movement before you have posted it, you can hold the data you have entered in the system without posting it. This means that the next time you use the transaction, you only have to call up the held data instead of having to re-enter it all.
  • You can copy the data that you want to hold to the list of held data, by choosing Hold. You can view the list of held data by choosing Goods receipt → Held data. In this list, you can choose which data you want to continue processing. The last ten pieces of data you held are displayed in the overview tree; you can select them for further processing by double-clicking on them.
  • Held data is automatically deleted when you continue to process the goods movement.
  • For frequently recurring transactions/events, it is possible to use held data as a reference that will not be deleted after the recall (see Notes for held data).
  • You can delete the held data you no longer require by choosing Goods receipt → Held data. You can delete held data that is no longer required for all users at once using the report Manage Held Data (MMIM_PREDOC_MAINTAIN).
• Check Documents and Evaluate Error Log

  The system does not issue any warning messages or error messages while you are entering a goods movement. If you want to know for which items the system issued a warning or error message before you post the goods movements, choose Check. The system displays all the warning messages and error messages in a dialog box. If you save the document immediately by choosing Post, you only obtain a dialog box with an error log containing the warning and error messages if any were issued. After you have checked a document for the first time, the item overview contains a new column Status, which displays the check results for each item via a traffic light symbol. To go to the error log for this item, choose the corresponding button.

• Display Material Master Record and Vendor Master Record

  If you require more data for a material or vendor, you can go to the respective master record by double-clicking the corresponding field. You can also display the detail data for user names and account assignments by double-clicking them.

The Display Warehouse Stock application is based on SAP transaction MB52, which enables you to view the list of warehouse stocks on hand. SAP transaction MB52 is classified in the Materials Management module under application component Inventory Management.
