Steps for Goods Receipt to GR Blocked Stock ( Conditional GR) in Inventory management


Goods Receipt to GR Blocked Stock Steps in SAP Inventory management


If you wish to accept goods from a vendor conditionally
(because certain thing are not correct or some document are missing),
you initially post the goods to the goods receipt blocked stock (GR blocked stock)
upon receipt, using movement type 103. The quantity posted to GR blocked stock does not yet form part
of your regular inventory. It is merely recorded in the PO history.

Since GR blocked stock is not valuated, no accounting document is generated at
 the time of the goods receipt. The valuated stock is not changed as a result of
a receipt to GR blocked stock. Furthermore, you should note that although GR blocked stock is
updated in the PO history, the open PO quantity is not reduced as a result.
When the conditions for the acceptance of the delivery have been fulfilled,
you transfer the material to unrestricted-use stock, stock in quality
inspection, or blocked stock. The valuation and updating of the stock data
does not take place until the material is released using movement type 105.
If the conditions for release are not satisfied, it is possible to return the
goods to the vendor.

Steps to execute GR block stock and release it in Inventory management


Step 1. Go to MIGO transaction choose Good receipt reference as PO


Input movement type – 103 and post the good receipt. this will post conditional Gate entry of the material and material document is created .

Step 2.you can see the PO history for GR-block stock for a particular PO

Zero quantity is seen in PO history and zero value as this is non valuated , but a material document is created . No change in the open quantity due to Gr-block receipt
