Receiving

The physical handling of items received at the company warehouses can be managed and recorded in different ways, depending on the level of warehouse management features in the installation. For example, the warehouse of small manufacturing companies may require simple functionality, while busy distribution warehouses for wide product selections and complex business models may require that different levels of warehouse activities be performed in a directed workflow.

The simplest receiving process is one where the installation has no dedicated UI for warehouse activities, but the received quantity is entered and posted directly in the inbound order, such as a purchase. A basic warehouse installation may include the Inventory Put-Away document where warehouse workers process one order at a time and automatically post the receipt transaction when posting the inventory put-away. In advanced warehousing installations that are set up for directed put-away and pick, different warehouse roles perform separate receiving and put-away tasks for multiple orders according to the implemented workflow.

To add flexibility to advanced warehousing installations, a bin code field for continuous registration of item stock levels can be made available on inbound source document lines.

The level of warehouse management in an installation is defined partly by the scope of the license and partly by the location setup.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
