LN actions triggered by confirming receipts or receipt lines

After you confirm a receipt or receipt line, LN:

  • Updates the item's inventory in the receiving warehouse in the Warehouse - Item Inventory (whwmd2515m000) session. The packing structure data and reusable packaging items inventory is updated as well.
  • Balances the negative inventory with the received quantity.

  • Updates the LN package from which the receipt originated, with the receipt line information.

    For example, if a receipt for an order of origin ASC Production is confirmed, this order obtains the Completed status, unless inbound inspection is required. In that case, the Completed status is obtained after the inspection is completed.

  • Sends a discrepancy notice to the supplier if the received quantity is not equal to the shipment-notice line quantity. LN only sends a discrepancy notice if shipment notices are used.
  • Carries out logistic transactions and financial transactions.
  • Creates an approval line in the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session if the received items must be inspected.
  • Automatically generates inbound advice for the receipt (line) if the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session is not an automatic activity in the applicable receipt procedure.
  • Logs the result of the receipt process in the Receipt Message Log (whinh3530m000) session. LN logs error messages and information messages.
