Reporting Production Quantities Greater Than What is Required on the Process Order

[Former Member]

Over-issuing against a line item on a process order (PO) is common in our manufacturing environment.  We have determined that SAP will allow this, however there seems to be limitations.  For example, the required quantity on the PO for item A is 1000 pounds, and 1600 pounds were actually consumed.  Moreover, we are going to transact 4 GI(s) in increments of 400 pounds.  The first 3 GI(s), totaling 1200 pounds, will process allowing an over-issue of 200 pounds.  Here is the issue:  SAP will not allow the final GI of 400 pounds.  It appears that once SAP recognizes the over-issue against item A (at 1200 pounds), additional GI(s) are prohibited.  Currently, our work around is to use MIGO, add item A to the PO, and GI the remaining quantity (400 pounds, for a total of 1600 pounds consumed).  Training a large number of operators to use MIGO for this situation is inefficient and impractical.  Is there an SAP configuration that will allow us to over-issue and avoid using MIGO?

Hello Greg:

Technically, you are performing unplanned good isuue, however you are expecting the system handles unplanned as they were planned good isuue.

For SAP there are differences between planned and unplanned good issue. You can get more information here:

Hi Greg

There is no check specific for the goods issue quantity.

On the standard system there is a check for the confirmation overdelivery, therefore, you cannot confirm more than this value.

You can find this check on the customizing transaction OPK4.
