Goods Receipt for Production Order 

Purpose

If you have goods receipt for a production order, this is a physical goods receipt or receipt of materials into the warehouse from company production. If you are managing your warehouse independently of the central Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP system) using the decentralized Warehouse Management system (WMS), the central ERP system first creates an inbound delivery when the goods receipt posting for production orders takes place. This inbound delivery is then the basis for the putaway process in the decentralized WMS.

Prerequisites

The master data of the ERP system has been transferred to the decentralized WMS using the distribution model. (see also Setting up the Decentralized Warehouse Management System).

At the warehouse number level in the Customizing application, you have stored vendor standard data for the creation of deliveries under the path Logistics Execution ® Decentralized WMS Integration ® Central Processing ® Application ® Define Interface to Inventory Management There you control, using the delivery type, whether an inbound or an outbound delivery is to be generated.

Process Flow

  1. When you post a goods receipt for a production order in the central ERP system, the system does not immediately process the goods stock for Inventory Management (IM), but first creates an inbound delivery for the production order.
  2. The ERP system passes on the inbound delivery to the decentralized WMS.
  3. On the basis of the distributed inbound delivery, the decentralized WMS automatically creates a transfer order for putaway of goods from in-house production. Here the system determines the future storage bin of the goods using a pre-defined putaway strategy.
  4. The transfer order is used as a basis for the physical movement of goods from the goods receipt zone to one or several storage bins in the warehouse.
  5. You confirm the completion of the goods movement by confirming the transfer order. Here you can correct the transfer order if there have been any quantity differences.
  6. With the confirmation, you post the goods issue for the outbound delivery. This way the system automatically sends the confirmation of the inbound delivery to the ERP system.
  7. On the basis of the confirmed inbound delivery, the central ERP system posts the goods receipt for the production order.
