Goods
Receipt: Identifying a Store Goods Receipt
Use
When processing the intermediate documents (IDocs) concerning the store goods receipts, the system attempts to match up goods receipts with reference documents in the ERP system. The following methods are possible:
· Store orders
The store sent a store order for a requirement to the central ERP system.
· Confirmations to store orders
The central system sent a confirmation of a store order to a store.
· Shipping notifications for a distribution center
The distribution center created a delivery for a warehouse order or a store order and sent a shipping notification to the store. Depending on how the system is configured, the shipping notification is either created at the same time as the delivery or after the delivery has been picked.
· Shipping notifications from a vendor
The external vendor sent a shipping notification to a store as a result of a purchase order issued by the store or distribution center.
· No reference documents
The original requirement can no longer be tracked in the system. An unplanned goods receipt is entered.
By entering a reference document, the store obtains exact information on the goods that are expected (for example, quantities and delivery dates). It also enables the system to calculate the volume of goods that are expected and can plan the staff required at goods receipt accordingly.
If no reference document can be found, an intermediate document is created without any reference information. The central ERP system then attempts to find the associated purchase order when the IDoc is passed onto head office.
