| Automatic receipts automatically update the administrative warehouse with the inventory received in the "real" VMI warehouse. The customer's administrative warehouse For automatic receipts into the customer's administrative warehouse, you can generate automatic receipt records in the Initiate Automatic Receipts (whinh3223m000) session. The generated receipt records are displayed in the Automatic Receipts (whinh3523m000) session. These records include data such as the warehouses in which the receipts are to take place, the item quantities, and the dates on which the automatic receipts are to take place. When the automatic receipt date is due, ERP LN performs the automatic receipts in the administrative warehouse. Automatic receipts are based on purchase orders, contractual inventory levels, or demand forecast. While the automatic receipts are booked into the administrative warehouse, the goods listed on them are actually received in the "real" VMI warehouse managed by the supplier. If the supplier performs supply planning, an automatic receipt can be based on the quantities listed in the demand forecast that the customer sends to the supplier, or the confirmed supply based on the demand forecast that the supplier sends to the customer. For more detailed information about the automatic receipt creation process, see The automatic receipt process. Various parameters determine how ERP LN creates automatic receipts. For more information, refer to Setting up automatic receipts. The supplier's administrative warehouse In this situation, the supplier plans replenishment and replenishes the warehouse, which is managed by the customer. The warehouse is defined as an administrative warehouse in the supplier's system. The supplier assumes that the quantities that he shipped equal the quantities received by the customer. The supplier's administrative warehouse is updated by means of transfer orders. When the supplier issues goods to replenish the "real" warehouse, he creates a transfer order that is received into the administrative warehouse. When he confirms the shipments of the transfer order, ERP LN creates a receipt based on the transfer order and automatically confirms the receipt. The receipt quantities are equal to the confirmed quantities of the shipments. Related topics To update the administrative warehouse Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management |
