The inbound goods flow

The inbound goods flow includes these activities:

• Receive goods
• Generate inbound advice
• Put away inbound advice
• Generate storage list
• Confirm storage list

The inbound process is used to receive and store goods in a warehouse. To receive and store goods in a warehouse, you can process the inbound order lines on which the goods are listed, or you can process the handling units used to pack the goods. Both inbound order lines and handling units are processed according to user-defined warehousing procedures. If you use handling units to process goods, the order lines related to the handling units are updated in the background.

For more information about:

• Warehousing procedures, see LN Warehousing User Guide for Warehousing Procedures
• Handling units, see LN Warehousing User Guide for Handling Units

In LN, you can add warehousing inspection and quarantine handling functionality to both the inbound and outbound goods flows. Although briefly referred to in this guide, for more information please refer to LN Warehousing User Guide for Warehousing Inspections and User Guide for Quarantine Handling.
