 Shipping Notification – Incoming Locate this document in the navigation structure

Definition

The shipping notification represents a vendor’s confirmation to a purchasing organization of a delivery date for a certain quantity of ordered materials (or the date of performance of ordered services).

The materials are either identified by the material number or the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN).

Incoming shipping notifications are stored in the mySAP ERP system as inbound delivery documents.

Use

EAN.UCC/GS1 Compliance adds the following new features to the existing mySAP ERP processes:

  • Input help in the interface enables a material number to be determined from a GTIN,and from additional information.

  • In the IDocs, a material number is determined from a GTIN,and from additional information, using determination logic.

This enables the material-related processes to be carried out in the same way as before.
