Definition

To request the creation of an inbound delivery.

Technical Data

Business Context and Use

A shipper uses a transportation management system to carry out transportation planning and execution for orders created in a logistics execution system (for example, purchase orders and returns orders). During the planning process, optimized delivery proposals are created for the orders. The Request Inbound Delivery Creation outbound operation sends the delivery proposals to the logistics execution system and requests the creation of the inbound deliveries.

Features

The Request Inbound Delivery Creation  inbound operation requests the creation of a delivery for items from one or more orders. The type of delivery created depends on the type of order to which the delivery relates (for example, inbound deliveries are created for purchase orders, and returns deliveries are created for returns orders). At header level, each inbound delivery creation request is identified by an ID and contains information about dates. At item level, it provides the referenced order items, as well as information about the product, quantities, and measurements (for example, gross weight and gross volume).

For more information, see the documentation of the Create Inbound Delivery inbound operation in the Inbound Delivery Processing process component.
