Order Receiving Discrepancy

The programs Order Receiving Discrepancy and Order Receiving Discrepancy Supervisor serve as a way of communication between the purchasing department and the goods receiving department about order receipt problems.

After the purchasing department issued the order (P/O, E/X, R/O, etc.) and the order is shipped it goes through Receiving. Should a problem be found during this receiving process, the receiving department will create an Order Receiving Discrepancy.

The Purchasing Department will then determine what to do with the order that caused a problem and inform the Receiving Department about the decision.

The basic process flow is as follows:

1. Purchasing Department issues an order in Orders / Update / any Orders Type.
2. Receiving Department inspects the delivered goods and in case of a problem creates an Order Receiving Discrepancy record in Receiving / Update / Order Receiving / Order Receiving Discrepancy button.
3. Purchasing Department is notified. After deciding what further action to take, the decision is entered in Orders / Update / Orders Receiving Discrepancies.
4. Receiving is notified through Receiving / Update / Order Receiving Discrepancy Close and finalizes the receiving process or sends the part back to the supplier.

Note: Depending on the business processes, the problem order can be received and the parts placed in a quarantine bin or the Receiving is halted until further action taken. In the latter case, the part will not show up in the inventory at any time until it is fully received.
