Related topics

The following describes the steps (in sequential order) you would follow when processing a Transit delivered BtB order.

The work flow differs depending on the:

  • type of creation for the purchase order (i.e. automatic or manual)
  • type of reception you choose
  • purchase/sales order type used for the order.

Transit delivery with automatic creation of PO

With a transit delivery, it is most common to assign a print of the purchase order document in the Purchase order type table. If you indicate a direct printout, the purchase order will automatically be created after you exit the sales order routine.

The work flow for a Transit delivery, with an automatic creation of the Purchase order immediately after you exit the sales order routine, is as follows:

Using the Receive replenishment line program:

  1. Enter the sales order.
  2. Print the sales order confirmation.
  3. Report the goods as received when you have received them. This is done via the Receive replenishment line menu item.
  4. Print the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
  5. Confirm the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).
  6. Print the sales order pick list.
  7. Confirm the sales order pick list.
  8. Print the transport note, if it was assigned for printout in the Sales order type table.
  9. Print the invoice.

If you do not use the Receive replenishment line program, the work flow is the same as above but instead of doing what is outlined in step 3 you would:

  • Print the reception note, and
  • Confirm the reception note

Transit delivery with manual creation of PO

With a transit delivery, it is most common to assign a print of the purchase order document in the Purchase order type table. If you indicate a batch printout, you must manually create the purchase order via the Create BtB purchase order program.

The work flow for a Transit delivery with manual creation of PO is as follows:

Using the Receive replenishment line program:

  1. Enter the sales order.
  2. Print the sales order confirmation.
  3. Create the purchase order manually via the Create BtB purchase order menu item.
  4. Print the purchase order document if it was assigned a Batch printout in the Purchase order type table.
  5. Report the goods as received when you have received them. This is done via the Receive replenishment line menu item.
  6. Print the quality control note (if the item(s) is under quality control).

  8. Print the sales order pick list.
  9. Confirm the sales order pick list.
  10. Print the transport note, if it was assigned for printout in the Sales order type table.

  • Print the reception note, and
