In this process, products that are delivered with the intent to be stored in the warehouse are received and moved to a storage bin.
In this synchronous goods receipt for the external procurement process, the procured products can be posted directly in the warehouse during goods receipt processing without involving delivery documents.
During the goods receipt process, batch and handling units can be created. The putaway warehouse task creation can be triggered automatically to execute the movements in the warehouse.
After moving the products to the final bin or the clarification zone (exceptional case), the warehouse tasks are confirmed accordingly.
Packing instructions based on plant and warehouse are available. The SAP Fiori apps Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Documents and Post Goods Receipt for Production Order support synchronous postings and asynchronous postings.
- Enable determination of packing instruction based on plan and warehouse.
- Reference Material and standard HU Type can be used for determinations.
