How to receive goods

To receive goods, create a new receipt and link the inbound order lines, handling units, shipments or ASN lines, which list the goods to be received, to the new receipt. As a result, LN creates receipt lines for the linked inbound order lines and the inbound order lines associated with the linked handling units, shipments, or ASN lines.

  1. Create receipt
    1. In the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session, click , or from the appropriate menu, select New.

    2. If the Receipt field is available, select a receipt series or use the default series.

      The Receipt field is available if the Select Receipt Series check box is selected and the Series for Receipts field is specified in the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session.

    3. If the Warehouse field is available, select a warehouse.

      The Warehouse field is unavailable if the Warehouse field is specified in the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1140s000) session.

    4. Optionally, specify the ship-from business partner.

    5. If required, specify the packing slip and the Receipt Date in the Delivery group box.

      Note: Values for these fields are defaulted from the receipt lines after you link inbound-order lines, advance shipment notices, or handling units to the receipt.

  2. Link order lines, ASNs, loads, shipments, or handling units to the receipt record

    In the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session, you can use these options to link various types of business objects to a receipt:

    • Receive
    • High volume entry
    • Expected Orders See To link expected order lines
    • Receipt filter
    • Expected Shipments See To link expected shipment lines to receipts
  3. Confirm receipt

    You must confirm the receipt you created in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. After confirming the goods, the next step of the applicable warehousing procedure can be carried out. See Confirming receipts and receipt lines.

Note: 
  • Alternatively, you can use the Warehouse Receipts (whinh2610m100) workbench session to view, maintain, and process the receipt of inbound order lines that are past due, due on the current date, or due in the future.
  • To receive inbound order lines originating from purchase orders or purchase schedules sent by ship-from business partners for whom the Business Partner sends ASN check box is selected in the Ship-from Business Partners (tccom4521m000) session, the receipts must be created from the ASNs.
  • You can use the Unlink All Order Lines and Undo Link Order Lines to Receipt options on the appropriate menu of the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session to unlink inbound order lines from a receipt.

  • If the Check on Duplicate Receipts check box is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, while creating the receipt, LN checks whether an identical receipt exists.

    If a duplicate exists, the creation of the receipt line is blocked and a message with a blocking reason is displayed, indicating the receipt line for which the blocked receipt line is a duplicate.

  • To receive goods based on handling units, see To receive handling units.
