Use

When you create an inbound delivery individually, you create exactly one inbound delivery for a purchase order. You can make changes to the inbound delivery, if necessary.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to create an individual inbound delivery:

  1. From inbound delivery, choose Inbound Delivery ® Create ® Single Documents.

    2. The initial screen for creating inbound deliveries appears.

  2. Enter the appropriate vendor.
  3. Enter the delivery date.

    4. The system automatically proposes the current date as the delivery date.

  4. If you want to select only one particular purchase order, enter its number. Otherwise, the system automatically finds all purchase orders due for inbound delivery.
  5. Choose Enter .

    6. The outbound delivery is put together according to your specifications. The inbound delivery overview screen appears. Data is copied into the inbound delivery from the purchase order to which it refers. On the header screens and item screens, you can enter additional specifications (for example, how the goods are to be transported). You can also change the specifications from the purchase order.

    A note is entered in the error log if inconsistencies occur in a schedule line.

    Note

    If you select a purchase order whose items are to be put away in different warehouse complexes (warehouse numbers), the system automatically creates several inbound deliveries in the background.

  6. Save the inbound delivery by choosing Inbound delivery ® Save.

When the system has saved the document, it informs you of the inbound delivery's number.

From the delivery creation screen, you can use the Subsequent functions menu to print or to create a transfer order in warehouse management. When you call up one of these functions, the system saves the inbound delivery automatically and calls up the corresponding subsequent function.

Error logs

If errors occur while a delivery is being created, the system notes them in a log. The system issues a message if any errors have occurred.

To find out the cause of the error, you can branch to the log from any of the overview screens in the delivery by choosing Edit ® Error log. From there, you can make changes directly to the document.

Determination of goods receiving point

The system determines the goods receiving point according to the receiving plant and receiving storage location that were specified in the inbound delivery. You can define several entries for the goods receiving point and assign a priority to each one.
