Appointments describe the goods receipt agenda for specific doors in a warehouse complex.

Prerequisites

To be able to work with appointments, you must define a warehouse structure for Warehouse Management (WM). It also suffices if you use Lean WM.

The reference documents must fulfill the following requirements:

Features

This function allows you to create, change, and display appointments interactively with reference to a document (purchase order, inbound delivery, or rough goods receipt) or without reference to a document.
