When the supplier creates ASNs in SAP SNC, these ASNs are considered as quantity in transit.

When these quantities have been posted to stock, the backend system must send goods receipt
information to the SAP SNC to close the ASNs accordingly, otherwise these quantities would be used
twice in the projected stock calculation (SMI) or the purchasing document would remain open (PO,
RP). In the PO, RP and SMI scenarios, goods receipt information is generated using the proof of
delivery (POD) function. To create messages of the type Proof of delivery and send them out
automatically, you have to define output message records, which can be further processed as IDoc
messages.
