Generate Inbound Delivery Item from Expected Goods Receipt 

Use

In Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you can add additional delivery items to an existing inbound delivery by copying them from the expected goods receipt.

You order products from an external vendor. The vendor sends an advanced shipping notification for these products. However, the vendor also sends other products in the same inbound delivery, which were not included in the advanced shipping notification. The products are requested for the same day, and a corresponding purchase order and expected goods receipt are present. You add further delivery items for the additional products to the existing inbound delivery by copying these delivery items from the expected goods receipt.

Prerequisites

See “Prerequisites” under Using Expected Goods Receipts.
