Receipts and inspections

A warehouse receipt is the physical acceptance of goods in the warehouse. A receipt registers information such as the quantity of the goods, receipt date, packing slip data and inspection data.

Warehouse inspections are carried out for both incoming goods and outgoing goods.

The inbound inspection procedure is one of the main warehousing procedures in LN. You can add the inspection procedure to a warehousing procedure if the setup for the warehouse, supplier, or item requires item inspection. An outbound inspection is an activity of the warehousing order type that is linked to a warehouse order.

The inspections are carried out at an inspection location. Inspections can be carried out for these order origins:

  • Sales (Manual)
  • Service (Manual)
  • Maintenance Sales (Manual)
  • Maintenance Work (Manual)
  • JSC Production (Manual)
  • ASC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
  • Project (Manual)
  • Purchase (Manual)

  • Receipt and inspection procedure

    Inbound management ensures that received goods are stored in a warehouse that includes receipt and the inspection procedures. During the inbound process, you can flexibly define, adjust and carry out various activities.

  • Warehouse inspections and order origin

    LN provides flexibility in setting up inbound inspections. For example, you can specify that inbound inspections are carried out for specific types of warehousing orders by adding the warehouse inspections activity to the required warehousing order types and the applicable order origins of the warehousing orders.

  • Warehousing inspections

    If the inspection procedure is implemented, LN creates an inspection record in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session after the receipt is confirmed, the inbound advice is put away, or the storage list is confirmed. The user can then specify the inspection results and process the inspection.

    When performing an inbound warehouse inspection, items can be approved, rejected, scrapped, or destroyed. Depending on the parameter setup, rejected items are removed from inventory or sent to quarantine for further handling.

  • Advance Shipment Notice (ASN)

    An advance shipment notice is a notification that a shipment has been sent. Advanced shipment notices are sent and received through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). You can receive advance shipment notices from your supplier informing you that goods are to arrive at your warehouse, or you can send advance shipment notices to your customers that their ordered goods are about to be delivered.

  • Goods Received Note

    A goods received note lists the expected items and their quantities. On a goods received note you can note the item quantities to be received at the warehouse and compare these with the receiving documents provided by the supplier.

  • Receipt of goods

    When receipts are created, they must be confirmed before the goods are stored in the warehouse. You can perform the receipt of goods for the following types of records:

    • Advance shipment notices (ASNs)
    • ASN lines
    • Expected orders
    • Expected order lines
    • Handling units
    • Loads and shipments
