Under certain circumstances, such as goods receipt or stock transfer, articles may arrive in a site for which they are not listed. For example, a promotional article may be listed in a distribution center, which ships it to stores where the article is not listed. Or, a supplier might ship a newer article instead of an older one which it no longer carries; the site may want to accept the new article, even though it is not currently on the approved list.

You can specify on a site-by-site basis, whether receipt of such shipments is to be allowed or not. If allowed, the system will automatically create the appropriate article master data and listing conditions for the articles after the fact ("subsequent listing") so that the shipment can be received. If subsequent listing is disallowed, then the shipment cannot be accepted and must be returned to the sender.

• Never done

• Left to the user to decide in each case at time of goods receipt

You can specify this setting either in Customizing for the company structure (site data) or in site master data. The same field for subsequent listing exists in both areas, and the effect is the same no matter where you set the flag.
