Receiving parts against purchase orders

Receive parts against existing purchase orders. First, create purchase order receipt headers so you can receive purchase orders to your location. Create your receipt header based on an outstanding purchase order or for a specific supplier.

Once you create a receipt header, you can retrieve outstanding PO lines on the Active Lines page. If you entered a purchase order on the receipt header, all outstanding part lines are shown for the selected purchase order. If you entered a supplier and store on the receipt header, all outstanding part lines are shown on all purchase orders for that supplier.

From the Active Lines page, select which parts to receive and identify bin and/or lot locations to which to receive them.

When you approve lines on a PO receipt, the lines are moved from the Active Lines page to the Processed Lines page, the status of the receipt is changed from Unfinished to Approved, and the received parts are added to stock unless otherwise indicated.

Note: An automatic update for requisitions and purchase orders assigns a status of Complete when all lines of the requisition or purchase order are received. If there are subsequent returns affecting the requisition or purchase order, the system opens the affected record and automatically changes the status accordingly. Four installation parameters apply to this automatic update: RQSTRECV, RQSTALLR, POSTRECV, and POSTALLR.
