Question

Options

• APost a goods receipt for part of the order quantity
• BEnter a value for the quantity received
• CPost the quantity received to quality inspection stock
• DAdjust the purchase order quantity to the goods receipt quantity
• ESplit the quantity received to multiple storage locations

• A
  77% (34)
• B
  7% (3)
• D
  16% (7)

Explanation

When posting a goods receipt (GR) against a purchase order in SAP MM, the system is designed for flexibility in receiving: you can receive partial quantities (A) without fulfilling the entire PO, route items to quality inspection stock (C) so they're quarantined pending QA approval, and split the received quantity across multiple storage locations (E) in a single GR posting - all standard capabilities in the GR process.

B is wrong because you cannot manually enter a value for the goods received; the system derives the value automatically from the PO price (or valuation price), ensuring financial accuracy without manual override at GR time.

D is wrong because GR posting is a confirmation of receipt, not a change transaction - you cannot retroactively adjust the PO quantity through a GR; any PO quantity changes must be made via a PO change (ME22N) before or separately from the GR.

Memory tip: Think "Partial, Quality, Split" - the three things you can do at GR time are about how you receive the goods (how much, where it goes, which stock type). What you cannot do is change financial values (B) or modify the originating document (D) - those belong to other transactions.
