Goods Receipt
Purpose
In most cases, you post goods receipts referencing a preceding document, for example purchase orders or shipping notifications. The system suggests all the key data for the goods receipt from the preceding document. If the shipping documents you receive do not contain any reference numbers, you have various options for searching for the reference document in the system. You can, for example, carry out a search using the internal article number, the EAN, or the delivery date.
SAP Retail also enables you to enter the goods receipt in two steps. To ensure that the data is as accurate as possible when the goods are actually checked at goods receipt, you can enter the delivery note data as a rough goods receipt. You post the actual goods receipt in a second step, referencing the rough goods receipt.
