Overview of receipt and inbound inspection proceduresThe receipt and inspection procedures comprise the activities that you must perform in LN to receive and, if required, inspect goods that you want to store in the warehouse. Some of the activities are mandatory, and some only apply to location-controlled warehouses. You are not required to include non-mandatory activities in your warehousing procedures. In addition, you can also specify whether an activity must be performed manually or automatically. For information on how to define warehousing procedures, see To define warehousing procedures and Automatic or manual execution of activities. The following table provides an overview of the receipt and inspection procedures. The outer left column shows the order of the steps in the receipt and inspection procedures. The second column indicates whether a step is mandatory.
For further information about each step, refer to Receipt and inbound inspection procedures - in detail. If an optional step is not included in the receipt and inspection procedures, LN skips this step and carries out the next step defined in the warehousing procedure. The affected inbound order lines then obtain the status of that step. If the receipt or inspection procedure is carried out for a non-location controlled warehouse, LN skips the steps that are not applicable for non-location controlled warehouses. The affected inbound order lines then obtain the status of the next applicable step. LN does not use the following steps for non-location controlled warehouses:
