Receiving

Features and Functions

The receipt of Inventory items increases the Quantity On Hand, allocates this quantity to Material Requests, and creates an Inventory Movement record documenting the increase in inventory quantity and value. The receipt of Receivable Miscellaneous PO Line Items has no effect on inventory but does charge related Work Order Steps with the Non-Stock Actual cost of the items. The receipt of both types of items creates a Receive record that is used in the AP Invoice Matching process. Miscellaneous non-Receivable PO Line Items are immediately eligible to pay for since no receipts are performed against them.

The receipt of PO Line Items is controlled by the Purchasing Control associated with the SKU. Purchasing Control enforces the receipt quantity is within tolerances applied to the original order quantity and can also be used to require items to be inspected. This is called Unprocessed Receiving and adds a second step to the receiving process.
