Overview
In this scope item, products that are delivered with the intent to be stored in the warehouse are received and moved to a storage bin. This process allows
different variants of inbound processing such as an inbound from supplier and inbound from other storage locations. The process starts with an inbound de-
livery that is relevant for processing in the warehouse. Once the products arrive at the warehouse, batches can be assigned to the inbound delivery items. Af-
terwards, the goods receipt is posted, and warehouse tasks are created to execute the movements in the warehouse. After moving the products to the final
bin or the clarification zone (exceptional case), the warehouse tasks are confirmed accordingly.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each
process step, report, or item is covered in its own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the
process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be added.
Note Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a
different notation, enter values as appropriate.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and busi-
ness conditions.
