  Confirming Partial Goods Receipt

Use

You, as customer, can use XML messages to inform SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) that you have received a partial delivery for an advanced shipping notification (ASN) item from your supplier. The ASN item can thereby acquire the status Partial Goods Receipt in SAP SNC. If an ASN item has the status Partial Goods Receipt , SAP SNC does the following:

  • The ASN header acquires the status Partial Goods Receipt .

  • SAP SNC takes the received quantity from the in-transit quantity and puts the received quantity into the stock on hand.

    Note Note

    To make SAP SNC work in this way, you must implement the SAP Notes 1420372 and 1454608. If you do not implement these SAP Notes, SAP SNC does not consider ASNs with the status Partial Goods Receipt .This means: If an ASN item acquires the status Partial Goods Receipt , SAP SNC removes the entire ASN item quantity from the in-transit quantity (instead of only removing the received quantity, which is now part of the stock on hand). Correspondingly, if the in-transit quantity is part of the projected stock, the projected stock is too low.

    End of the note.

Prerequisites

In SAP SNC, you can only process and display partial goods receipts under the following conditions:

  • You use suitable XML messages and transfer the required goods receipt data (GR data). For more information, see XML Messages for Updating ASNs and Updating ASNs with an SAP Back-End System .

  • You have defined whether partial goods receipt is allowed. You make the settings in Customizing for Supply Network Collaboration under Start of the navigation path Delivery Next navigation step Advanced Shipping Notifications Next navigation step Goods Receipt Next navigation step Allow Partial Goods Receipt for ASN Items End of the navigation path .

Features

SAP SNC sets the GR status of an ASN item based on the Customizing settings as follows:

  • If partial goods receipt is allowed , an ASN item is only given the Goods Receipt Complete status if the GR quantity is the same as the item quantity. If the GR quantity is less, the ASN item is given the Partial Goods Receipt status. If you want to set the Goods Receipt Complete status in spite of the partial delivery, you have to set this status manually on the Web user interface of SAP SNC.

  • If partial goods receipt is not allowed , SAP SNC sets the GR status Goods Receipt Complete for the item even if the supplier has only delivered a partial quantity for an item.
