Inbound and outbound

delivery in MM

Inbound is related to MM module and Outbound is related to SD module.


Inbound delivery is part of vendor confirmation and is used for optimised
purchasing. It is a notification of delivery of goods from a vendor against
a PO at a specific date.
Basically it denotes that the material has been shipped from the vendor's
location and is in transit. In the system, Inbound is made with reference to
a PO when the vendor sends his shipment notification. This Inbound is
referenced while making the GR. You can control inbounds by the
Confirmation
Control Key. This can be set in the Vendor master so that all Pos for that
vendor will be inwarded by referencing an inbound. This key can be
seen/changed in the Confirmations Tab in Item Detail in ME21N. You can
customize and set whether the inbounds are considered for MRP or not.
The
inbound dates will be helpful in planning more efficiently for the material.
