About Order Receiving

The Order Receiving option is used to receive all ordered items into the system. Order Receiving is simplified by having the same requirements for each order type (Repair Orders being the slight exception, covered in the Repair Order section).

Order Receiving is the first step in the receiving process of an order and is typically completed by a receiving clerk. Once an order has been received, it will go to 'Closed' status where it can be invoiced. The component associated with the order will not be available in inventory until the receiving Inspection process has been completed.

Receiving Inspection is the secondary inspection that takes place for an item. This will depend on the R/I Flag in the P/N Master, Technical Engineering tab. If secondary Receiving Inspection is required, the items will not be available in inventory until the secondary receiving has taken place.

Information on the order will appear at the bottom of the window following selection. If a requisition is associated with the order, it will display at this point. Following receiving, a message will be sent to the requesting user. Once the initial detail has been completed and saved, the Receiving Control, E/C, and the N/L/A windows may appear and require data to be entered.

Depending on the user's company setup, the Inventory Tag print message (or tag print window) will then appear. To print the tag, select 'YES' on the Print Tag pop up. The system will then take the user to the tag print window. To return without printing, select 'No.'

If necessary, throughout various sections of the Receiving process, Order Receiving Discrepancy can be conducted to record any problems with an order being received.
