 Goods Receipt Posting Locate this document in the navigation structure

When a material has been produced in a process, a goods receipt for the order must be posted. Whether and how you can trigger the goods receipt posting using a process message depends on the type of material produced:

Goods Receipt for Header Material and Co-Products:

If you want to post a goods receipt for the header material of the order or for a co-product, you need to send a message of category PI_PROD to destination PI03. How the message data is processed depends on the inspection specifications defined for the material:

  • If an inspection is to be carried out during production using inspection points, the message is sent to QM, provided that one of the following process steps is defined in QM:

  • Assignment of partial lots or batches (see QM data for the recipe header, Partial-lot assign. field)

  • Recording of an inspection point quantity (see QM data for operation/phase, Insp.pointCompletion field)

After the inspection, you can post a goods receipt for each inspection point based on the inspection results.

  • In all other cases, the message is sent to inventory management. This means that the goods issue is posted directly.

Goods Receipt for By-Products: If the material produced is a by-product for which a reservation item has been maintained, you can post the goods receipt by sending a message of category PI_CONS to destination PI04.

You cannot use a process message to post a goods receipt for a by-product that is not contained in a reservation.

Consistency Checks: :

The system checks whether the values contained in the message are valid and consistent with one another. If an inconsistency is discovered (for example, an invalid order number or a unit of measure that is not allowed for the material specified in the message):

  • The system writes a corresponding error or warning message to the message log

  • The system sets the process message status Destination error or Sent with warning
