Inbound Delivery

Description

In the Logistics Execution application component, the inbound delivery is available in the system as of Release 4.5A. In connection with this, we have redefined the term for the shipping notification. The term "shipping notification" has been changed to "inbound delivery" whenever we mean the document. It will be used in the communication environment for output. The inbound delivery stands for the delivery materials that will be received at the goods receipt door. Using the inbound delivery, for example, you can now communicate with the WM system, transmit batch information, and even post goods receipt movements directly.

The following new functions are now available with the inbound delivery:

1. Transfer order for inbound delivery
   Similar to the outbound delivery, the inbound delivery stands for a request to the warehouse to place goods into storage. From the inbound delivery, you can create a transfer order for the putaway procedure.
2. Putaway screen
   In the stock putaway screen, you can enter the putaway quantity if you do not have the Warehouse Management system implemented and if the items are relevant for picking.
3. Batch information
   The batch split that has already been possible in the outbound delivery is now also possible in inbound deliveries since the batches are often only known when the inbound delivery exists.
4. Inventory management of shipping materials
   Not only can you pack the goods, you can also generate the shipping materials on the basis of the individual items, just like with the outbound delivery. Since no maintenance of the sales view is required in the material master for the inbound delivery, you can maintain a general item category group in the material master (for example, NORM). This group is independent of the sales area. If you have set plant determination additionally in the shipping material type, the system will create an item. When you post goods receipt within the inbound delivery (VL32), the system posts the shipping materials to stock in accordance with the movement type.
5. Goods receipt for inbound delivery
   In the inbound delivery menu, there is a special menu option for directly posting the goods receipt for the inbound delivery (VL32) and for the collective processing run.
6. Order confirmation Define inbound delivery
   Using this key you can set the system so that planned inbound deliveries can be created in collective processing.
7. Inbound delivery monitor
   The new functions for displaying and processing open and complete deliveries are available for inbound deliveries to the same degree as for outbound deliveries. In addition to extended selection options, you also have the option of selecting a worklist, with several follow-on functions for subsequent processing of the inbound deliveries. All this information is provided in the inbound delivery environment.
8. Status Information
   The following statuses are updated in the same way as the outbound delivery:
1. Putaway status
2. Warehouse status
3. Goods movement status
9. Determination of goods receiving point
10. Incompletion log
11. Change-documents
12. Document flow for inbound delivery
    Similar to the outbound delivery, the inbound delivery is integrated into the document flow under the menu option "Environment".
13. New search help for inbound deliveries
    There is a new search help with the identification "D". This is provided for the external identification of the inbound delivery (delivery number of vendor). Up to now, you used the search help "A", but this is reserved in future for decentralized warehouse management.

Changes to the Interface

As of Release 4.5A, there is a special menu option for Inbound Delivery (VL30) under Logistics Execution. In this menu, all the functions for inbound delivery, customer returns, goods receipt posting, and stock putaway are integrated.
