  Key Concepts: 
  Firm Receipt is a process in SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SCM-ICH) that allows a supplier to confirm the receipt of goods from a buyer. This process is used to ensure that the goods have been received and accepted by the buyer. The supplier can also provide additional information such as delivery date, quantity, and quality of the goods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Firm Receipt process is initiated by the buyer, who sends a request to the supplier. The supplier then confirms the receipt of goods and provides additional information such as delivery date, quantity, and quality of the goods. The buyer then confirms the receipt of goods and updates their system accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all information provided by the supplier is accurate and up-to-date. This will help to ensure that the buyer’s system is updated correctly and that any discrepancies are quickly identified and resolved.
