Which states does an Inbound Delivery Item pass through?

Within the S4Hana logistics framework, Inbound Delivery Items undergo a series of states from inception to final processing. Although the standard S4Hana system offers a wide range of states, a tailored perspective was adapted for the adesso Group. This customized interpretation is exclusively employed by the Order Procurement service, using data retrieved from S4Hana's to determine the current states.

1. Created:
• Definition: The beginning state when an Inbound Delivery Item is introduced.
• Transition: Upon successful storage based on the associated Purchase Order Item's location, the item advances to the "PutAway" state.
2. PutAway:
• Definition: At this stage, received quantities are defined.
• Transition: Depending on the actions taken, the item can move to "SerialsProvided" after serial numbers from the corresponding Outbound Delivery Item or acceptance request are added. Alternatively, it can progress to "Received" after executing a Good Receipt action.
3. SerialsProvided:
• Definition: The system recognizes and associates serial numbers to the Inbound Delivery Item at this state.
• Transition: By default, after receiving, it advances to the "Received" state. But, if there are alterations in the serial numbers, the system might update or remove them accordingly.
4. Received:
• Definition: The products have been taken in, and stock levels are increased.
• Transition: After this phase, the Inbound Delivery Item progresses to the "Completed" state.
5. Completed:
• Definition: This state signifies the end of the process. The Inbound Delivery Item has successfully traversed all the stages and is processed in alignment with the Order Procurement Service's standards and protocols.
