Inbound Delivery Overview
The Inbound Delivery Overview screen lists deliveries to you from your suppliers.
An inbound delivery from one of your suppliers becomes visible in this screen when the supplier has confirmed a delivery suggestion, and you have performed a data exchange (Normal, Total or Get Deliveries) with the supplier or it has been confirmed by the supplier via WebAccess or a transaction to your PipeChain. Note that when the inbound delivery becomes visible in your PipeChain, this does not have to mean that the delivery has actually been shipped.
If you double-click on one of the rows, you open the Inbound Delivery Detail screen for that delivery.
When you have received the total quantity of an inbound delivery, the delivery becomes a finished inbound delivery, and can be viewed in the Finished Inbound Delivery Overview screen.
Color indicator
Fields representing Dates, Quantities, Prices and Discounts are now color marked as follows:
RED (indicates a “broken promise”) used in both VMI and Traditional order flow
• Shipping Date/Time is red if shipment time is passed and status is only “confirmed” and active
shipment is part of the process. Tolerance is optional.
• Reception Date/Time is red if receipt time is passed without the delivery has been received.
YELLOW (indicated a change request or confirmation with deviation) used in order flow
• Yellow fields prefixed by "Demand…" or "Dmd…" indicates that the customer has made a
change. Tolerance is optional.
• Other yellow field indicates that the supplier has made a change. Tolerance is optional.
• Shipped or Received Quantity that is yellow indicates that an incorrect quantity has been
shipped, or received.
