There are fewer functions available for entering goods receipts in SAP Retail Store than in the SAP System. This makes entry of data in the store more efficient.

The following functional restrictions apply in SAP Retail Store compared to the standard transactions in the SAP System:

• You can only enter a goods receipt for your own store

• You can only define movement types in Customizing for SAP Retail Store

You can enter goods receipt data using a PDC unit. In this case, you enter a PDC file for further processing. SAP Retail Store reads the articles and quantities from the file and post them in the SAP System. The system generates a purchase order for the articles and quantities in the background, if necessary.

You can also load reference documents to the PDC unit (download).
