Business value
Retailers need the ability to receive inventory that comes into the store via purchase orders or transfer orders efficiently and easily. Occasionally, a store might receive inventory that was not on the original purchase order. In such cases, we want to provide the retailer with the flexibility of adding these unplanned items to the purchase order dynamically at the time of receiving to ensure they are properly tracked.
Feature details
This feature will enhance the Inbound Inventory operation in the point of sale (POS) so that users will be alerted when they attempt to receive an item on a purchase order and the item isn't on the purchase order. The user will be given the option to add the item. If they add the item, a new line will be added on the purchase order and the receiving now quantity entered in POS will be the assumed ordered quantity for that line. The lines will be tagged so that users of Commerce headquarters can tell that these lines were added during the receiving process, and they can do any necessary follow-ups or reviews with the vendor. This feature will only be enabled if the company doesn't use the workflow/change management approval processes on their purchase orders.
