We are going to make use of inbound deliveries for this process. System will only allow you to create inbound
delivery on purchase orders if you confirmations mentioned in the purchase order. To create inbound delivery
make sure you have confirmation control 0004- Inbound delivery or configured copy of 0004.
Confirmation Tab is available at purchase order item level. Confirmation Control key can mentioned in vendor
master or in purchasing info records to populate as default at time of purchase order creation

This enable you to use VL31N to create the inbound delivery document w.r.t approved purchase
order

Notes- Info Record is optional, if you do not have info records system will still allow you to create purchase
order.
2. Create Inbound Delivery-VL31N
Inbound delivery is used to provide information about goods receipt. This is not a goods receipt but this can
notification from vendors about shipping of goods or intermediate stage before goods receipt is posted.
You can do goods receipt w.r.t. to inbound delivery without using WM.

Inbound delivery- This is confirmation document that enable business to capture the shipping stage or gate
entry as soon material is shipped by the vendor or received at the store gate
