Goods receipt by list?

Question

Hello gurus,
very often goods purchased by us are delivered directly to our customers. So we do not actually "see" the goods arriving but periodically get lists with all goods received from our customers.
Now we would like to create the goods receipts without having to do it manually. E.g. we get a list with 100 items (from serveral different POs). So we would have to use MIGO and manually enter the numbers of every PO on the list and manually select those items on the list.
Is there better way to do this (preferrably without programming)? Like in some way importing the list (that contains PO and item number for every item)?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi Alicia
For this business process you can use third party processing (maybe you are using now - it's just information):

As for your original question (mass goods receipt), there's no such standard transaction in SAP as per my best knowledge.
- you could develop one transaction and input the data in an excel file
- your system should be connected with your customer's, and they would have to do their GR that would your GR too
The account assignment category controls whether you need GR or not. If your apply such account assignment you don't have to do GR - of course, disadvantage is that you won't have that information.
Just my opinion
