Perform goods receipt per package and delivery
You can receive goods for a purchase order (PO) and report the receipt at the delivery note level, item level, package level, or items-per-package level.
Delivery notes and packages are used to store shipment and container details, enabling the use of deeper structures such as containers, pallets, and boxes.
Outcome
- Goods receipt is performed at the delivery note level, including cases where packages exist across multiple levels.
- If necessary, the goods receipt can be reversed at the delivery note, either in full or in part.
Uses
- Package-based and delivery-based goods receipt through application programming interfaces (APIs) enables you to easily receive goods using bar code readers or RFID to read package barcodes.
- Package-based and delivery-based goods receipt improves warehouse efficiency and is important for both cross-docking and shipping at terminals.
- You can better support the management of inbound logistical tracking with shipments and containers.
- Order lines from multiple purchase orders (POs) are consolidated into a single shipment for a supplier. Any valid PO line for that supplier is used to create the shipment. Managing multiple POs as one entity provides significant processing advantages.
How is the system affected?
- The delivery note header is stored in the PDNHEA file.
- The package is stored in the PFTRNS file.
- Package details are stored in the PPTRNS file.
- The delivery note or items are stored in the PDNLIN file.
Before you start
- A PO must be created.
See Purchase Order.
- A PO line must be connected to a delivery note and package.
See Create and Connect Delivery Note and Package to a PO Line.
