After the materials from a user's purchase requisition are ordered and have arrived, the user can confirm the receipt of the goods. In the Confirm Receipt of Goods - New app, purchase requisition items are automatically selected with the following filter criteria (all of them must be fulfilled):
Requisition items that were created by the user who started the app
Requisition items with a purchase order as a follow-on document
Requisition items that have not completely been confirmed yet
The following steps need to be executed:
- Search based on the purchase requisition or purchase order number.
- Enter the delivery note number and the document date.
- Select the item for confirmation, and if necessary adjust the quantity or mark Final Delivery.
- Confirm the goods receipt.
Requisition items appear as available for confirmation until the purchase order quantity for the item is completely confirmed, or the final delivery indicator is set for the item.
In the app, it is possible to search for a document using a purchase order number or purchase requisition number. If more information is needed, a user can navigate to the Purchase Requisition Item factsheet or to the Supplier factsheet. It is possible to confirm partial quantities for an item, and also to mark the item for final delivery.
It is also possible to confirm the receipt of goods via the My Purchase Requisitions app. In the requisitions list, an item ready for goods receipt needs to be selected. For such an item, the Confirm button is active. Furthermore, a return delivery for materials received can be posted. In this case, a returns reason needs to be entered for the item that is returned.
Note
If not all purchase requisitions that meet the requirements are showing up in the app, see SAP knowledge base article 2489857 (Confirm Receipt of Goods not showing all purchase requisitions) for more information.Goods Receipts in a Warehouse
Note
See what Paige has to say about posting a goods receipt in a warehouse:Transfer Postings
With the SAP Fiori app Transfer Stock - In-Plant, a user can transfer materials without any knowledge of movement types. The user can simply first click on the stock type and storage location from where they want to transfer stock, and in the next step click on the stock type and storage location where they want to transfer the stock to. After this, the desired quantity is entered and the goods transfer is posted.
After each posting of a goods movement using an SAP Fiori app, the user sees the number of the created material document. The user can then click directly on the document number to display it.
