You can use the goods receipt function for stores that have no direct link to the central R/3 system and therefore post their goods receipts in a store retailing system. The goods receipt data is then sent to the central R/3 system as an IDoc, where it is automatically processed. If the data is complete and free of errors, goods receipts are posted as required in the system centrally.

The store stock levels must be administered in the central R/3 system.

A complete store goods receipt is done as follows:

1. Goods are counted and entered in the store retailing system.
2. Goods receipt items are matched up with reference documents in the store retailing system.
3. IDocs are prepared and transferred to the central R/3 system.
4. IDocs are processed automatically in the central R/3 system.

1. Assigns the items to reference documents
2. Triggers user action if errors or exceptions occur

1. The user must process errors and exceptions manually.
