ReceivedDeliveryNotification

You can use this message to transfer the ASN number and the ASN item numbers. You can transfer the following data for each item:

Product number

Quantity received

Difference to the notified quantity

Information about whether the delivery is complete as far as the customer is concerned, even if he or she has received a smaller quantity than the notified quantity

Since a ReceivedDeliveryNotification is able to transfer detailed data at item level, you can map partial goods receipts in SAP SNC.

A ReceivedDeliveryInformation contains a Completed indicator. If this indicator is set, the item is given the status Goods Receipt Complete , regardless of the goods receipt quantity in SAP SNC.

The IDoc technology of an SAP back-end system does not support this indicator.

ProductActivityNotification

You can use this message to transfer only the ASN number and the ASN item numbers as ASN-relevant information. This message cannot transfer detailed data at item level. This means that if you use this message, you cannot map partial goods receipts in SAP SNC.

DeliveryScheduleNotification

Use this message to transfer scheduling agreement releases. We recommend that you use ReceivedDeliveryNotifications as standard for release processing with SAP SNC to update ASNs in SAP SNC. Alternatively, you can also work without ReceivedDeliveryNotifications and instead transfer cumulative received quantities with the DeliveryScheduleNotifications. In this case, you can specify that SAP SNC sets the GR status of ASN items based on the cumulative received quantity. For more information, see Customizing for ASN Processing under Define Settings for Release Processing .

DeliveryInformation

You can use this message to transfer an ASN (including the goods receipt data) and the results of the external validation from the customer back-end system in a service parts management system to SAP SNC. You can also map partial goods receipts with this message.
