GR block due to incoming certificate

by Tanuj on Sun Aug 29, 2004 1:57 am

Hi everyone, I have a question. I want the incoming inspection process to work so that GR cannot be done if the certificate is not received. So in customizing i created a control key z001 for cert required. In the material master, I set QM procurement active and entered the control key and a customized cert type. In this cert type, I have checked the following options in customizing. - Cert for each PO item is checked - Cert per GR item is checked - Cert check required is checked - In control without cert, I have given "With lot: error message, without lot: error message" , because I want the GR not to happen if the cert is not received, with or without the inspection lot. Before GR, once the cert is received, then I create a cert record in QC51 for the purchase order, with Cert. status "Certificate filed and Inspected" and the appropriate Cert. receipt date. During GR, I set the Cert Received field to "Yes" under purchase order data. But it is still not allowing GR. It says "an insp. cert is required". When I checked the long text of this error, it said that u must create a record for the purchase order with status "cert recd and stored" ... but I already did that in QC51. Then why is the GR still being blocked. The requirement is to block the GR and not to confirm the receipt during UD. What must I do? Please help. Tanuj.

Hello Tanuj, To do so, you has to opt the same that NO GR processing if certificate doesnot come along with delivery in the PURCHASE ORDER..... That means, while creation of the Purchase order please mention the same.... see it would work that way ! Enjoy your week...

Hi JPS, Where do I have to make that setting, can you please elaborate? I have mentioned the customizing setting that I made, in my previous post. If there is anything beyond that, can you please tell me where I need to make that setting? Thanks, Tanuj.

Ok .. i found that in the PO. That is only the control key that is mentioned in the material master itself. Maybe I should elaborate my question. While reading SAP help it says that during GR, the MM people will write yes/no in the GR doc for cert. In both the cases, the GR will happen and the goods will move into inspection stock. In case it is a no, it will have to be confirmed during UD. Now what I wanted was a setting that in case it is a NO during GR, the GR should not happen and should be on hold. In case it is a yes, then it should allow the GR. Where can I make the relevant setting? Thanks, Tanuj.

Hello Again, When I used this option, I made setting in PO that no GR creation if certificate not received, ....... and during execution there is a Drop down appeared in GR screen ( with yes or No ) and if during GR creation, we choose No, it does not allow to complete GR and this option is also available in QM customization, ( QM in procurement,define certificate type.... and under 'control without certificate' )

So finally, one setting is reqd. in PO and other over above mentioned, path.... and this will finally, make this things happen. If possible, send me the screen short of PO ( jps.bhatti@de.bosch.com ).... please...... and update me, if u able to thu it..... Enjoy your rest of the day ! JPS

GR block due to incoming certificate

by krishna_ranganath on Tue Aug 31, 2004 5:14 am

JPS, Hi, Even I tried hard finding the answer to the query by Tanuj.The QM customisation part is clear & I could close that with the relevant setting in:-QM in procurement,define certificate type.... and under 'control without certificate' ) as you have mentioned in your reply.But the setting reqd in the P O while P O creation is still UNCLEAR. Is this a setting at user level ie at transaction level??-which mean, every time, user need to do this setting while P O creation OR is this a customisation setting interface in MM component?? to apply to all P O S' of a type?? Pl. help clarify on this ASAP!! Thanks, Regards,

Good Morning, Sorry did not respond earlier, As I finding hard to test the same due to Authorization issues, Please give one more try with Info-Record..... Insp control...... may this time it works, and update in either case. JPS
