Use

You can use the physical goods receipt within the optimized goods receipt .

Prerequisites

Note Note

The normal process flow, described under "Process Flow", is dependent on the Customizing in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and the default values that you can enter on the user interface if required. For example, you have defined in Customizing that EWM hides the delivery quantity. In this case, you must enter the delivery quantity for each inbound delivery item in the normal process flow.
