EDI Inbound Processing of a Shipping Notification

Use

Shipping notifications received via EDI can be processed automatically in materials planning.

Prerequisites

Application

Customizing settings relating to the EDI ordering party and to error handling for scheduling agreements. These settings are described in the scenario EDI inbound processing of a forecast delivery schedule

A confirmation control key for the shipping notification must be defined in purchasing customizing under Confirmations ® Set up confirmation control (transaction OMGZ). The shipping notification has the internal confirmation type "LA". The confirmation sequence can contain information about whether the shipping notification is relevant for materials planning, for example.

The confirmation control key must be assigned to the corresponding scheduling agreement item.

IDoc Interface

An inbound IDoc of type DELVRY01 from one of the partners entered in the partner profiles exists. You can use the test tool to artificially generate an inbound IDoc from an outbound IDoc generated in SD according to the procedure described in Sending a shipping notification via EDI.

The following fields are maintained in the partner profiles (inbound parameters):

Field	Value
Message category	DESADV
Partner type	LI (vendor/creditor). In the ALE scenario (IDoc arrives from R/3 via tRFC): LS (logical system)
Process code	DELS (from Release 4.0, IDoc type DELVRY01)
Processing	Immediate processing
Permitted processor	Organizational unit (e.g. an R/3 user)

Activities

Inbound processing

The system posts the shipping notification sent by the vendor. If the shipping notification has been marked as being relevant for materials planning in the confirmation control key, the specified amount of the material is included in the materials planning procedure.
