When a buyer using SAP Procurement solution integrated with SAP ERP created a negative goods receipt, SAP ERP displayed the following error message:

Deficit of PU GR quantity <NUMBER> EA : <PLANT>

This problem occurred when more than one goods receipts were created and the total value of the returned quantity (negative value) exceeded the value of the first goods receipt that was created by the buyer. Instead of referring to the goods receipt from where the quantity was returned, SAP ERP incorrectly referred to the first goods receipt created by the buyer, which resulted in the error message displayed.

Now, the code has been modified such that SAP ERP, when creating a negative goods receipt, refers to the goods receipts based on their order of creation. This ensures that SAP ERP refers to the goods receipt from which the quantity is returned. Also, multiple line items are created in the negative goods receipt if the returned quantity spans across goods receipts.
