Definition

Determines whether or not a shipping notification is nevertheless to count as closed even in the event that the goods receipt quantity differs from the notified quantity.

Use

If you select this indicator, a shipping notification or PO item counts as closed even if the GR quantity differs from the notified quantity.
The remaining quantity is then no longer taken into account in terms of MRP.

Since Automotive Release 1.0 you can select the indicator when posting a goods receipt against a PO (with confirmation control key).

As of Release DI 4.6C2, you can also select the indicator in the quantity difference profile.
In the case of quantity differences that subsequently arise in the inbound delivery (e.g. in the case of a return delivery or a reversal), the shipping notification continues to be treated as closed. That is to say the overall goods movement status (C = completely processed) in the inbound delivery does not change.

Dependencies

Only if you have selected the Closing indicator in the quantity difference profile of the relevant confirmation control key can you also specify there that the open quantity of the item is to be adjusted.

Example

You have received a shipping notification re 1,000 pc of a scheduling agreement item and have subsequently posted a goods receipt (GR) of 750 pc.
Since the indicator has been selected, the shipping notification quantity of 1,000 pc is adjusted to the GR quantity of 750 pc and the schedule line specifying 1,000 pc is not completely cancelled out, but only offset by 750 pc, leaving an open scheduled quantity of 250 pc.

Document        Quantity        MRP reduced quantity

Goods receipt        750

Inbound delivery        750        750

SA schedule line        1,000        750

Result
The inbound delivery is closed and materials planning no longer reckons with a receipt of the difference quantity of 250 pc. In the next (requirement) planning run, for example, new requirements in the form of scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines would be generated.
The open scheduled quantity would be transmitted to the vendor in the next SA release.

If the indicator has not been selected, the shipping notification quantity of 1,000 pc is not adjusted to the GR quantity of 750 pc. The schedule line quantity of 1,000 pc is completely cancelled out by the shipping notification quantity of 1,000 pc, but an open shipping notification quantity of 250 pc remains.

Document        Quantity        MRP reduced quantity

Goods receipt        750

Inbound delivery        1,000        750

SA schedule line        1,000        1,000

Result

The inbound delivery is open and materials planning reckons with a forthcoming receipt amounting to the quantity difference of 250 pc. The MRP system would thus generate a new scheduling agreement schedule line only in the event of a new requirement for more than 250 pc.

In contrast, the schedule line quantity has been completely cancelled out.
