An application for Inventory Management in S/4HANA that allows to create goods receipt for purchase orders.

Post the receipt of goods with reference to a purchasing document, for example, purchase order, which contains order items that display single or multiple account assignments (procurement for direct consumption). With multiple account assignments, you can distribute the purchasing cost among different cost centers or projects, for example. Note You define the account assignment distribution together with the accounting information and ordered quantity in the purchase order. You can make these settings for valuated and non-valuated goods receipt.Note that the app only displays the account assignments as further information. In the case of partial goods receipt, the app does not recalculate the distributed quantity.   Post the receipt of goods with reference to vendor consignment stock.   Post goods receipt of goods with reference to a scheduling agreement. Note Scheduling agreements with the procurement type Stock Transfer are not supported.   Post the receipt of goods with reference to a purchasing document, for example, purchase order to the goods receipt (GR) blocked stock. Depending on your role, you can release items from GR blocked stock into the unrestricted-use stock, for example. Note GR blocked stock is not supported for items using goods-receipt-based invoice verification.   Post the goods receipts for items (or return items), for example, create more than one material document. If an attachment is enclosed in a purchasing document, for example, purchase order, it is, in general, tied to the material document of the standard goods receipt process.   Post the goods receipt for order items with shelf life expiration date and production date. Before you post the goods receipt, the app supports a check of the shelf life expiration date. Note If the shelf life expiration date check is active and at least one of the fields Minimum Remaining Shelf Life or Total Shelf Life is maintained in the material master, you have to enter the shelf life expiration date or the production date of the material at the time of the goods receipt. The app then checks whether the remaining shelf life is sufficient. Note that the minimum remaining shelf life is a minimum amount of time up to which the material must be in good condition so that the system accepts the goods receipt. Depending on your settings, the fields are displayed and/or are ready for input.Note that you can only enter the shelf life expiration date of a material if the shelf life expiration date check is active for the plant, active for the used movement type, and the minimum remaining shelf life is maintained in the material master record or in the purchase order item.   Post the receipt of goods with reference to a purchasing document, for example, stock transfer order, which contains order items for stock material to another storage location.   Create and edit batches out of the post goods receipt processing.Note Depending on your role, you need to assign the dependent business catalog Batch Management - Batches (SAP_SCM_BC_BATCH_MGMT) to the app-specific business catalogs Materials Management - Warehouse Processing (SAP_MM_BC_IM_PROCESS) and Materials Management - Goods Receipt Processing (SAP_MM_BC_IM_GR_PROCESS). Based on this assignment, the app shows a further button for creating and editing batches.   Post the receipt of goods with reference to a reason code. You can store a text that gives a reason for the movement (for example, reason for return delivery).   Note If you encounter issues when posting goods receipt for a purchase order with a confirmation control, see KBA 3122713  (Cannot post Goods Receipt for a Purchase Order with Confirmation Control 0001 within the app 'Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document').    Split Valuation   The app supports materials with split valuation. It is possible to either select a valuation type or show the assigned valuation type for the split valuated material.    Subcontracting   For subcontracting, the app is enhanced with a component information area.   The app has a component information area for the subcontracting process for the purchasing documents types purchase order and scheduling agreement with item category L (subcontracting).   The app displays for each material whether components exist.   By default, all components are considered for posting.   A quantity change on material header level on the main screen leads to a proportional adaption of the quantity of the component materials (item level).   You can decide if you want to go further with posting of the goods receipt for the complete material (header level) or to navigate to the detailed page and edit each component individually (item level).   You can make changes for all components of a material. You can change the quantity or the unit of measure for each component separately or deselect components for posting. Note that a quantity change on material header level on the detail screen does not trigger proportional adaption for component materials.   Serial numbers are supported at both header and component level.   Support different process variants that can occur at the component level such as shelf life expiration date and reason code.   For additional information on how to handle subcontracting, see Subcontracting Cockpit.   Note Posting of subcontracting with special stock E (Sales Order Stock) and Q (Project Stock) are not supported in the cloud environment.    Serial Numbers   Assign, change, or remove serial numbers for materials and components serialized at document level. For additional information on serial numbers, see Serial Numbers in Purchasing.     Integration of Mobile Scanner and Barcode Scanning   Support different options for barcode processing to scan purchasing document numbers with internal and external scanner devices. Ensure fast and reliable data collection and mapping to the appropriate purchasing documents.   Depending on your chosen scanning options for barcodes, you can scan the following barcodes:  Simple barcode: You can scan a purchasing document number.   Composite barcode: You can scan a GS1-standard-conform barcode with a purchasing document number.   For more information, see Barcode Scanning in Inventory Management.   Support manual barcode entry if necessary.    Others   Print slips and labels during the entry of a goods receipt manually or automatically. For more details, see Printing Slips and Labels.
