Goods Receipt Handling with Reference to Inbound Delivery (SAP Library

Goods Receipt Handling with Reference to Inbound Delivery

Purpose

If you work with a decentralized Warehouse Management system (WMS) or Handling Unit Management, the basis of goods receipt handling in Warehouse Management is the inbound delivery . The system then creates transfer orders for putaway with reference to inbound deliveries or to handling units.

Process Flow

You have the following possibilities to create transfer orders with reference to inbound deliveries:

Entry of the inbound delivery number

Here you can create transfer orders as follows:

Via the inbound delivery monitor

By creating a transfer order for an inbound delivery

Automatically in the background if you have set up the message WMTA and assigned it to the inbound delivery (see also Assigning Output Type WMTA to Inbound Deliveries)

The SAP system creates the transfer orders from the materials or handling units in the outbound delivery and determines the destination storage bins.

If you have set up Handling Unit Management, you have the following possibilities for creating a transfer order with reference to a handling unit:

By creating a transfer order for a storage unit

By creating a transfer order from the stock list

Automatically in the background if you have set up the message WMTA and assigned it to the inbound delivery (see also Assigning Output Type WMTA to Inbound Deliveries)

The SAP system determines in the background which inbound delivery is assigned to which handling unit. The inbound delivery is updated via the transfer order for putaway.

This function is also supported if the handling unit is nested and refers to several delivery items.

This kind of transfer order creation is particularly suitable if you scan handling units, since you can process every handling unit individually.

If you work with a decentralized WMS, you can find more detailed information under Goods Issue in a Decentralized Warehouse.

Putaway Before Goods Receipt Posting

Create an Inbound Delivery

If you work with handling units, pack the materials (see also: Packing for Inbound and Outbound Deliveries)

Carry out the putaway (of handling units).

Confirm the putaway transfer order before posting the goods receipt. The storage unit is in the destination storage bin of the transfer order. The system creates a negative quant with the storage unit number in the source storage bin.

You can enter differences when you confirm the transfer order. However, you can only confirm difference in the source storage bin. If you have set the indicator Transfer Putaway Quantity, the putaway quantity is reduced (see also Define Shipping Control).

After confirmation the quantities are available in the destination storage bin. In this case, you can move the storage unit within the warehouse. However, you can only remove partial quantities or pick for a delivery after posting the goods receipt.

Post the goods receipt.

When you post the goods receipt for inbound delivery, the system deletes the negative quants in the goods receipt area and makes a note in the storage unit that partial withdrawal is now possible. You can now post the goods receipt for the entire inbound delivery.
