To receive project delivery lines

Some ASNs are notifications of the delivery of project deliveries. This type of ASN consists of a header and project delivery lines. In the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, you can receive project deliveries.

To receive a project delivery ASN, select the relevant ASN and, from the appropriate menu of the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, select Receive Direct Delivery Lines.

Before you receive the ASN containing project delivery lines, you can check, and, if required, modify the quantity and other details of individual project delivery lines.

To check project delivery lines

  1. In the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, select the relevant ASN and, from the appropriate menu, select Shipment Notice Lines.
  2. In the Shipment Notice Lines (whinh3101m000) that appears, double-click the relevant ASN line.
The project delivery procedure

Project delivery means that, if you buy goods for a project for which no warehouse is defined, the supplier, or a carrier hired by the supplier, delivers the goods directly to the project site without the goods having to go trough your warehouse first. When the supplier has delivered the goods at your customer's, he sends an ASN notifying you of the delivery.

After you receive a project delivery line, the receipt of the project delivery purchase order is confirmed in the Purchase Orders - Receipt Overview (tdpur4531m000) session. After you receive the last delivery line of a project delivery ASN, LN tags the receipt as final. If the received quantity is lower than the quantity of the sales order, LN can create a back order.

Note

If the supplier does not use EDI to inform you about deliveries, you must manually update project delivery receipts in the Purchase Orders - Receipt Overview (tdpur4531m000) session.

Example

Your project is constructing an offshore oil platform. You bought various subassembled parts for this construction project and instructed the supplier to ship these parts directly to the offshore location. Your supplier, through this arrangement, delivers the parts directly to the offshore location and sends an ASN to notify you of the delivery.
