Automatic Perform Posting GI After VLPOD Save in SAP

Automatic Posting GI After VLPOD Save in SAP

This guide explains how to enhance SAP to automatically perform Goods Issue (GI) with movement type Z55 after VLPOD (Proof of Delivery) is confirmed or canceled. The solution uses BADI implementation and custom function modules.

Business Requirement

After confirming or canceling POD in transaction VLPOD, the system should automatically trigger a MIGO Goods Issue (Z55) posting without requiring manual intervention.

Technical Design

BADI Implementations

• LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC : ZIMPL_POD_TRANSFER
• DELIVERY_PUBLISH : ZIM_DELIVERY_PUBLISH

Custom Function Modules

• ZFG_VLPOD_POST_Z55 → To post Goods Issue
• ZFG_VLPOD_CNCL_Z55 → To cancel Goods Issue

Enhancement Implementation

1. ZIMPL_POD_TRANSFER

METHOD if_ex_le_shp_delivery_proc~save_document_prepare.
  IF sy-tcode = 'VLPOD'.
    " Capture POD action and delivery data
    ...
  ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
  

2. ZIM_DELIVERY_PUBLISH

METHOD if_ex_delivery_publish~publish_after_save.
  IF sy-tcode = 'VLPOD' AND sy-ucomm = 'SICH_T'.
      DATA lt_lipsvb TYPE TABLE OF lipsvb.
      DATA:

        lv_pod_act TYPE char10.

      REFRESH : lt_lipsvb, ct_xlikp.

      IMPORT ct_xlikp  TO ct_xlikp  FROM MEMORY ID 'ZZ_VLPOD_HDR'.
      IMPORT lt_lipsvb TO lt_lipsvb FROM MEMORY ID 'ZZ_VLPOD_ITEM'.

      CLEAR lv_pod_act.
      IMPORT lv_pod_act TO lv_pod_act FROM MEMORY ID 'ZZ_VLPOD'.

      READ TABLE ct_xlikp INTO DATA(ls_likp) INDEX 1.

    CASE lv_pod_act.
      WHEN 'A'. " Confirm POD
        CALL FUNCTION 'ZFG_VLPOD_POST_Z55' IN UPDATE TASK.
        COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
        WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS.
      WHEN 'X'. " Cancel POD
        CALL FUNCTION 'ZFG_VLPOD_CNCL_Z55' IN UPDATE TASK.
        COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
        WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS.
    ENDCASE.

  ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

Best Practices

• Always use update tasks to ensure data consistency.
• Free memory IDs after processing to avoid data conflicts.
• Use WAIT UP TO carefully to synchronize update tasks.

Conclusion

By implementing BADI enhancements and custom function modules, SAP can automatically handle GI postings after VLPOD confirmation or cancellation. This ensures process efficiency and reduces manual errors in outbound logistics.
