Function: Purchase receipt management

Partial deliveries and purchase backorders are monitored until the entire purchase order can be closed. This function enables corrective action to be taken as a consequence of mismatches.

Process: Manage purchase receipt (code: MPU06a)

The objective of this process is to close and/or process received purchase orders. You can also use this process to monitor partial deliveries and purchase back orders until the total purchase orders can be closed. As a result, the receipts and invoices are matched before actual payment takes place. This process also includes corrective actions in case of mismatches.

You can monitor the status of warehouse receipts in this process. Several reasons for mismatches between ordered goods and received goods exist. Reasons can include a mismatch in quantity, quality, or price, the goods can be received too early or too late, and so on. This process enables corrective actions to repair these mismatches, such as changing prices or discounts or printing claims.

This process results in closed and/or processed purchase orders after receipt and corrective actions.
