Hi,
Scope of check for Sales Orders (Business Event A) and Deliveries (Business Event B) includes Stock and Advanced Shipping Notifications(ASN or PO Memo) as receipt elements.
Our requirement is to confirm sales orders based on stock and incoming shipment (ASN) but the delivery note be created only for the sales orders confirmed against Physical Stock (and not confirmed against ASN). Now that PO Memo is included in "B" scope check, system allows creation of delivery notes which cannot be delivered. We want to stop creation of these delivery notes for sales order/ intercompany orders confirmed against incoming stock.
Additional Info1:
We cannot take out 'PO Memo' from Business Event "B" check. This will create over-confirmation situation and delivery creation will not take place.
Business Event "A"
Requirement: SO1: 100, SO2: 100 (Both-confirmed - SO1 against stock, and SO2 against PO Memo)
Receipt: Unrestricted stock: 100; PO Memo: 100
Business Event "B"
Requirement: SO1: 100, SO2: 100 (Both-confirmed - from event "A")
Receipt: Unrestricted stock: 100.
If we remove PO-Memo, from Event "B" scope check, we have this situation:
Receipts: 100
Confirmed Requirements: 200
This is over-confirmation, and we cannot deliver any of these orders.
Additional Info2:
We cannot also change scope of check of event "B" and remove all requirements except deliveries, so that deliveries are competing aganist each other.
This will perhaps restrict delivery creation and together with removal of ASN receipts, we will be able to deliver orders not more than physical stock but this creates a bigger problem. Let me explain how.
Business Event "A"
Requirement: SO1: 100, SO2: 100 (Both-confirmed - SO1 against stock, and SO2 against PO Memo)
Receipt: Unrestricted stock: 100; PO Memo: 100
Business Event "B"
(Remove ASN from Receipts, Remove Sales Orders/ Scheduling agreements etc and only deliveries are requirements for Event B)
Requirement: 0
Receipt: Unrestricted stock: 100.
In this case, both SO1 and SO2, confirmed in Business Event "A" can generate delivery notes.
If SO2 generates delivery note, we have a problem as this order was confirmed against ASN.
Now, SO1 (promised to customer based on available stock) cannot be delivered.
In our case, we lose customer reservations if we follow this strategy, which is not good for our business.
......
I hope I have explained the issue is detail. Looking for great ideas here !
We need to implement a solution that can help us in confirming the sales orders against stock + incoming receipts (ASN/ PO). But, only be able to deliver those orders confirmed against physical stock. Delivery creation for orders confirmed against receipt elements should not be allowed.
