Goods Receipt Without an Inbound Delivery
A goods receipt without an inbound delivery can occur when material arrives at the receiving dock without reference to an inbound delivery. The goods receipt occurs in IM, and a transfer requirement is created for the movement of the material into the warehouse.
Goods Receipt in IM
Goods receipts relevant to a warehouse management system can be produced by the arrival of material at the plant from a purchase order with a vendor. A goods receipt can be defined as a company’s formal acceptance that materials were received from a vendor against a purchase order. Once the material is received and the transaction completed, the value of the material is posted to the general ledger.

Displaying the Transfer Requirement
The goods receipt of the material from the purchase order has been receipted into stock, as shown by the material documents and the stock overview program. This information reflects the movement into the stock location relevant to IM, but not the movement relevant to WM.
When the movement into the storage location was made, a transfer requirement was created, as the storage location is warehouse managed. You can find the transfer requirement by using Transaction LB11, which allows for a search of the transfer requirements by material number. To find this transaction, follow the menu path; SAP Menu-Logistics-Logistics Execution-Internal Warehouse
