The application has various versions as per the Client Process.

Depending on their specific workflow requirements, users can choose to create batches either in ECC/S4 or directly within EWM.
For scenarios where delivery creation is unnecessary, the application now provides the option to display a list of open inbound deliveries, streamlining the workflow.
The loading and goods receipt processes have been consolidated into one step, enhancing operational efficiency.
Goods receipts can now be processed at either the header level or the handling unit (HU) level, providing greater flexibility in handling and recording inbound deliveries.
