Business Context and Use

You can use this outbound operation in the Procure to Stock business scenario.

In the Procure to Stock scenario, goods are ordered from a vendor. The vendor confirms the purchase order and generates a request to Logistics to receive the goods on the required or confirmed date and place them in storage. By sending a shipping notice via the vendor, the request to the warehouse regarding quantities and deadlines can be finalized further. The planning system is informed about this pending delivery.

At a certain time, the goods arrive at the warehouse and the pending delivery becomes the actual delivery, along with its various processing stages. You can use the Inform of Inbound Delivery outbound operation to request information about the delivery processing status at various stages. This information is passed on to the applications involved, for example, the planning system.

It is also possible to use the SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) to provide a vendor with the current delivery status based on the most recent information.
