Goods Receipt: Rough Goods Receipts

Definition

Group of articles delivered at the same time by a vendor to a site.

Use

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The rough goods receipt (business object BUS2090) is a step that takes place before the actual goods receipt posting. The delivery is identified and the items on the delivery documents sent by the vendor are matched up with the order items in the system. The system compares the quantities ordered with those contained in the delivery papers. This enables you to identify large quantity differences or articles that are wrongly delivered even before you take physical receipt of the goods.

Technically, a rough goods receipt document is the same as an inbound delivery. Only after the goods are physically received and the goods receipt posted are the articles included in the inventory of the site. When the goods receipt is entered, reference is made to the rough goods receipt.

You can only use rough goods receipts if you use SAP R/3 Retail.

Structure

A rough goods receipt consists of items that contain the quantity of an article delivered.

Integration

Rough goods receipts can only contain articles that were previously ordered in purchase orders or scheduling agreements. A rough goods receipt can only be entered if a special confirmation key is set for the reference order items (such as order items).

The vendor may have previously sent a shipping notification for which an inbound delivery has been entered in the system. If this is the case, the rough goods receipt can be posted referencing an inbound delivery.
