| # To receive direct delivery lines Some ASNs are notifications of the delivery of direct deliveries. This type of ASN consists of a header and direct delivery lines. In the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, you can receive direct deliveries. To receive a direct delivery ASN, select the relevant ASN and, on the appropriate menu of the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, select Receive Direct Delivery Lines. Before you receive the ASN containing direct delivery lines, you can check, and, if required, modify the quantity and other details of individual direct delivery lines. To check direct delivery lines In the Shipment Notices (whinh3100m000) session, select the relevant ASN and, on the appropriate menu, select Shipment Notice Lines. In the Shipment Notice - Lines (whinh3101m000) session that appears, double-click the relevant ASN line. The direct delivery procedure Direct delivery means that you sell goods to a customer, but because you do not supply these goods yourself, you must buy the goods from an external supplier before you can sell them. The supplier then delivers the goods directly to the customer without the goods having to go through your warehouse. If you use the direct delivery procedure to sell goods to a customer, you first create a sales order. From the sales order, LN generates a direct delivery purchase order that is sent to the supplier. When the supplier has delivered the goods at your customer's, he notifies you of the delivery by means of an ASN or otherwise. After you receive a direct delivery line, the receipt of the direct delivery purchase order is confirmed in the Purchase Orders - Receipt Overview (tdpur4531m000) session and the sales order that initiated the direct delivery purchase order is updated. After you receive the last delivery line of a direct delivery ASN, LN tags the receipt as final. If the received quantity is lower than the quantity of the sales order, LN can create a back order. After the receipt of the direct delivery lines of the ASN, the sales order that initiated the purchase order is updated and you can send an invoice to the customer to pay for the goods. Note If the supplier does not use EDI to inform you about deliveries, you must manually update direct delivery receipts in the Purchase Orders - Receipt Overview (tdpur4531m000) session. Example Your organization offers to sell a product that includes some optional accessories. However, you are not in the business of producing the accessories. To offer a complete service to your customer, you sell both. Your supplier, through this arrangement, delivers the accessories directly to your customer. |
