InboundDelivery

The business object Shipping notification is an assurance of a
delivery date with regard to a quantity of materials or a service that is given by the vendor.

Structure

An inbound delivery consists of several items, each indicating the notified quantity of the material or service.

Comment
The inbound delivery provides Purchasing with more up-to-date
information than the delivery dates shown in the purchase order.

Available Methods

• ConfirmDecentral : BAPI verification of duplicated inbound deliveries from a decentralized system [ BAPI_INB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC ]
  
• SaveReplica : Duplication of inbound deliveries [ BAPI_INB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA ]
  

ConfirmDecentral

You can use this method to report back inbound deliveries from a WM system to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

Example

Which required data do you need for reporting back?
Two examples of how to use the BAPI are explained below: reporting back
the delivery without (quantity) changes of the item data and reporting back the delivery with item data changes.

1. The item data of the delivery is reported back unchanged.

HEADER_DATA Header data of the outbound delivery

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

HEADER_CONTROL Header control data

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

Field GROSS_WT_FLG Gross weight reporting flag

DELIVERY Document number of outbound delivery

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

1. The item data of the delivery is reported back changed.

HEADER_DATA Header data of the outbound delivery

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

DELIVERY Document number of outbound delivery

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

ITEM_DATA Item data

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

Field DELIV_ITEM Delivery item

Field DLV_QTY Delivery quantity in sales unit of measure
or alternatively

Field DLV_QTY_IMUNIT Actual delivery quantity in stockkeeping unit

ITEM_CONTROL Item control data

Field DELIV_NUMB Delivery number

Field DELIV_ITEM Delivery item

Field CHG_DELQTY Change delivery quantity

Material number, plant, quantities in floating values, volumes, weightsand their units are copied from the delivery document, if not specified.

Error messages are recorded in the BAPI return parameter RETURN
with the following message types.

E (ERROR)
W (WARNING)
I (INFORMATION)

Further Information

If the BAPI is used as an external interface for an external system,the packing hierarchy should be described as usual by using external identification numbers for shipping materials(HDL_UNIT_EXID_INTO/HDL_UNIT_EXID). The fields can be found in theHANDLING_UNIT_ITEM segment. The shipping unit must be copied into the
HDL_UNIT_EXID_INTO field when the system reports back to packing.

If batch splits that were created in the ERP are reported back, the
hierarchy fields HIERARITEM and USEHIERITM must not contain information. If split items were created in the Warehouse Management
System and reported back, these two hierarchy fields must contain information.

If a non-SAP system was used as a decentralized Warehouse ManagementSystem, the IDoc structure must be defined carefully when the returnmessage is constructed. It is very important that the segment sequence must not be altered.

SaveReplica

You can use this method to distribute inbound deliveries from an ERP system to a WM system.

The following parameters are required:

HEADER_DATA Inbound delivery header data

SENDER_SYSTEM System of the sender

HEADER_PARTNER Header data of the partners

HEADER_DEADLINES Header data of the dates

ITEM_DATA Item data of the inbound delivery

ITEM_ORG Organisation data of the inbound delivery

Notes

The required parameters have the following required fields:

Import parameter HEADER_DATA

INB_DELVRY_NO

DLV_TYPE

Import parameter SENDER_SYSTEM

SENDERSYSTEM

Table parameter HEADER_PARTNER

PARTN_ROLE = 'LF' Vendor is required partner

PARTNER_NO

Table parameter HEADER_DEADLINES

TIMETYPE = 'WSHDRLFDAT' Delivery date

Table parameter ITEM_DATA

INB_DELVRY_NO

ITM_NUMBER

MATERIAL

DLV_QTY

SALES_UNIT_ISO oder SALES_UNIT

Table parameter ITEM_DATA_ORG

PLANT

Further Information

HEADER_PARTNER

Since the partners in the delivery are not managed on an item basis,the ITM_NUMBER field in the BAPIDLVPARTNER segment is left blank and not analyzed.

HANDLING_UNIT_ITEM

If the BAPI is used as an external interface for an external system,the packing hierarchy should be described as usual by using external identification numbers for shipping materials(HDL_UNIT_EXID_INTO/HDL_UNIT_EXID).
