Setting Up Date Checks to Goods Receipt for Purchase Order

Shelf Life Expiration Date Check

When you receive goods from a supplier, the system may check the minimum shelf life of the goods during the goods receipt. You can therefore ensure that goods are only placed in storage if their shelf life corresponds with your requirements.

Checking the Minimum Shelf Life (with Total Shelf Life)

For materials without a batch management requirement, you can enter and check the minimum SLED for only the GR. You can also print the minimum SLED on the GR and goods issue (GI) slip.

For materials with a batch management requirement, it is possible to use the SLED in batch determination for GIs and analyses for batches.

Too Early or Too Late Delivery

For each purchase order item, Purchasing specifies a delivery date. The system may check during the GR posting whether the goods are delivered too early or late.

If you have set the message 254 as an error message, you can still post prematurely delivered goods to non-valuated or valuated GR blocked stock. If the delivery date is achieved, you can release the GR blocked stock. The check for premature delivery may be useful if your storage capacity is limited.
