Inbound pick confirmation

Question

Hello,
We have built an outbound picking request interface in which we send idocs from outbound delivery. The idocs are converted in middleware into EDI files and sent to third  party warehouse for picking.
If our outbound delivery has 100 litres, we convert it into 5 Case ( as per alt uom in material master, 20 litres=1 case ) and send 5 qty in LFIMG field but litres in VRKME field in E1EDL24 segment.
We have batch no in the delivery but we do not send batch number to third party warehouse. MY questions are :
1)  When in inbound picking idoc, if we receive a different batch number than what was in the outbound delivery, will our  inbound pick idoc fails. ( or do we need to have the batch no  and stock qty(inbound idoc ) also  to be exisitng  in sap at least if not in outbound delivery  ) ?
2) How do we handle delivery split  in our inbound pick idoc from warehouse. For instance we send 5 qty of stock information to warehouse and in return they send five batch  numbers with 1 qty each... so how do we handle this since in our outbound  delivery, there is only one line  item of 20  qty ?
In which segment such batch split information arrives in inbound pick idoc and which fields and how does the system knows that it needs to do picking against one line item in outbound  delivery ?
Also do we need to do any configuration in sap for receiving batch split qty's in inbound idoc ? if yes, then what config is required ?
3) Since we send converted qty (20 litres in sap converted to 5 )  to warehouse and the warehouse sends the same qty  of 5 back to us. we need to re-convert the same 5 qty back into 20 ( by looking at alt UOM in material master ). I need to know how can we achieve the same and in which function module and which fields/tables does this needs to pass ?
4) what is HIPOS field ?
5) How do middle ware handles the batch split  from warehouse. Do they need to make separate E1EDL24 segments for inbound batch split qty's. If yes, then how do all the  inbound idoc  E1EDL24 segments  sum up the qty to be able to post picking against one line item in outbound delivery.
would request pointwise answers.
regards
Pamela

Hi,
Try using the FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE...Also for inbound delivery do we require Picking??
Ok..Check this sample code for doing PGI..
PARAMETERS: p_vbeln LIKE likp-vbeln.
DATA: vbkok_wa TYPE vbkok.
vbkok_wa-vbeln_vl = p_vbeln.
vbkok_wa-wabuc = 'X'.
DATA: v_error.
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE'
     EXPORTING
          vbkok_wa                  = vbkok_wa
          delivery                  = p_vbeln
     IMPORTING
          ef_error_in_goods_issue_0 = v_error.
COMMIT WORK.
