Is a follow-on activity to a purchase order.

It forms the basis for updating the financials and inventory records and can trigger
warehouse management and quality management processes.
 
With the warehouse management system, you can control the goods receipt and goods issue
processes at a physical level. Goods receipts are possible from purchase order, inbound
deliveries (advanced shipping notice), stock transport orders, or from production orders. Goods
receipt begins the putaway process, which is supported by different advanced strategies.
 
Determination of External Demands
Determines the data describing a demand for a material that is procured externally. This data
includes the quantity that is required, the release-to-supplier date of the demand, the goods
receipt date for the delivery, and the location to which the material has to be shipped.
 
Advanced Shipping Notification
Comes from the vendor and contains the exact materials, quantities, and the delivery date with
reference to a purchase order. This document becomes the Inbound Delivery in the receipt
process.
 
Delivery Monitor Provides an overview of deliveries in working processes. Gives an overview
of the workload in different areas, for example shipping, transportation, or invoicing, while also
allowing you to collectively process documents that have the same selection criteria. Specialists
in different execution areas of the organization can use this tool to gain a quick overview of
their workload, drill down to single documents, and trigger follow-up activities.
 
Yard Management
Gives the warehouse an overview of stocks located on trailers, trucks, or railcars in the yard.
Sequencing
functions decide which stock should be received into the warehouse at which point in time.
Yard Management also manages the vehicle from the check-in to check-out, including in-yard
activities such as sealing, weighing, and directing the vehicle to a door or parking place within
the yard. Registration of the start and finish of loading or unloading activities is also supported.
Yard Management is integrated with Mobile Data Entry.

Goods Issue
The outbound delivery forms the basis for goods issue posting. The data required for goods issue posting is copied from the
outbound delivery into the goods issue document. When you post goods issue for an outbound delivery, the following functions
are carried out on the basis of the goods issue document:
1. Warehouse stock is reduced by the delivery quantity.
2. Value changes are posted to the balance sheet account in inventory accounting.
3. Requirements are reduced by the delivery quantity.
4. The serial number status is updated.
5. The goods issue posting is automatically recorded in the document flow.
6. Stock determination is executed for the vendor's consignment stock.
7. A worklist for the proof of delivery is generated.

After goods issue is posted for an outbound delivery, the scope for changing the delivery document becomes very limited. This
prevents discrepancies between the goods issue document and the outbound delivery.
 
Delivery Processing & Distribution
 Controls the actual fulfillment of sales orders and purchase orders as well as stock transport orders. The execution of logistics
tasks is handled here. With delivery processing, the goods are shipped and relevant documents are printed out. The sales
requirements can be distributed to alternative locations. The delivery might be shipped to the customer directly from the fulfilling
locations (more than one delivery), or consolidation may occur at one location before one complete shipment is transported to the
end customer.
 
Proof of Delivery
Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has
confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the POD itself, you can also record the POD date, time, actual quantity, and the
reason for possible differences in quantities. This is especially important for deliveries where the delivery quantity varies because
of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start. You are now in a position to issue an
accurate invoice based on the customer's confirmation of goods received. You no longer need to create credit memos. The reasons
for deviation that occur most frequently in real-world scenarios, such as stock shrinkage, theft, certain characteristics of goods
(volatility, for example), and transportation damage, are recorded and analyzed in the system. This analysis is especially valuable
when you are negotiating with forwarding agents, vendors, or customers, since all deviations can be reflected.
 
Value-Added Services
Value-Add activities in the warehouses need to be managed and monitored. Using the VAS functionality, you are able to manage
and control the execution of services in the warehouse. VAS is fully integrated into Warehouse Management, Handling Unit
Management, Task and Resource Management, and Mobile Data Entry.
