What are some of the consequences of setting the Delivery Completed indicator in a purchase order (PO) item? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• AFurther goods receipts for the PO item are not expected but are possible.
• BThe PO item is no longer relevant for material requirements planning.
• CThe commitment for the PO item increases.
• DThe order quantity of the PO item is still open.

• A
  78% (42)
• C
  15% (8)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Setting the Delivery Completed indicator signals to the system that the vendor has finished delivering against that PO item, even if the full ordered quantity wasn't received.

Why A and B are correct:

• (A) Further goods receipts are still technically possible - the system won't hard-block them - but they are no longer expected. This is the key nuance: the indicator marks the item as "done" from a business perspective while keeping the door open for late or surplus deliveries.
• (B) Once delivery is marked complete, the open quantity is considered fulfilled. MRP no longer sees an outstanding need and stops generating procurement proposals or planning for that item, preventing duplicate orders.

Why C and D are wrong:

• (C) The commitment actually decreases (or is cleared), not increases. The system releases the financial reservation because the outstanding quantity is no longer expected.
• (D) With the indicator set, the order quantity is treated as closed, not still open. The remaining undelivered quantity is effectively written off from an MRP and commitment perspective.

Memory tip: Think of "Delivery Completed" as telling the system "we're done here - stop watching for more, stop planning for more." That maps directly to A (no longer expected) and B (MRP stops caring).
