Generate Inbound Delivery from Expected Goods Receipt

Use

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can generate an inbound delivery from an expected goods receipt.

Example Example

You order products from an external vendor and generate a purchase order in SAP ERP. SAP ERP generates a corresponding expected goods receipt. The vendor’s vehicle arrives at the warehouse, and you generate a corresponding inbound delivery in EWM, based on the shipping documents.

End of the example.

Prerequisites

See “Prerequisites” under Using Expected Goods Receipts .

Procedure

On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Extended Warehouse Management Delivery Processing Inbound Delivery GR Preparation - External Procurement.
Choose with the quick info Default Values , and check whether Select Expected GR has been set, enabling EWM to search for expected goods receipts.
Look for the expected goods receipt that belongs to your inbound delivery, and generate an inbound delivery from an expected goods receipt. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Group box Transportation Unit
  
  Set Without TU . If you are using a transportation unit (TU), enter a valid TU, a carrier, and the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) for the partner. If the specified TU is unique, specifying the carrier and the SCAC is optional.
- Group box Search Requests
  1. Under Find , choose either Purchase Order or Expected Goods Receipt , and specify the purchase order number or document number of the expected goods receipt.
  2. Choose the function Search .
    
    EWM displays all the expected goods receipts it finds in the lefthand area of the screen.
  3. In the lefthand screen area, set Flag for a delivery item in the expected goods receipt.
  4. Choose the function Copy Flagged Item.
    
    EWM generates a new inbound delivery from the expected goods receipt, and copies all data from the selected delivery item of the expected goods receipt. EWM also displays a dialog box containing header data of the new inbound delivery. If you want to copy multiple delivery items at the same time, you must copy the delivery items of the expected goods receipt in exactly one inbound delivery. You can edit the header data, specifying the advanced shipping notification, for example.
    
    EWM displays the new delivery items in the righthand screen area.

Choose Save and save the new inbound delivery.

Note Note

On the inbound delivery user interface in SAP ERP, you can check whether EWM has sent the new inbound delivery to SAP ERP.

End of the note.

Result

You have generated an inbound delivery locally in EWM from an expected goods receipt, and can now perform further goods receipt steps on the user interface of the inbound delivery, such as posting goods receipt.
