This recipe provides details of receipt information, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to process standard receipts.
You should set up the Processing Option for the PO Receipt application (P4312) and also review the order activity rules for Purchase Order.
When you receive goods, you must verify that the details of the receipt correspond to the information on the purchase order. You must verify item numbers, quantities, units of measure, costs, and so forth. If the receipt details differ from those on the purchase order, you must adjust the purchase order detail lines to reflect the receipt. For example, if landed costs, such as delivery charges or import taxes, apply to the item's purchase price, you enter these costs for the order during the receipt process. The system also enables the pricing and re-pricing of purchase order items at receipt. Pricing and re-pricing at receipt time for matrix items and quality attributes enables you to account for price changes that must be reflected when an item is received.
When you select only one detail line on the Work With Receipts menu, the system displays all of the detail lines on the Receipt Revisions menu that meet the criteria of the mode that you have entered. For example, if you enter 1 for the receiving mode and select one detail line on the Work With Receipts form, then the system displays all of the lines for the purchase order. If you enter 2 for the receiving mode and select one detail line on the Work With Receipts form, the system displays all of the lines for the selected item. If you enter 3 for the receiving mode and select one detail line on the Work With Receipts form, then the system displays all of the lines for the general ledger account. If you enter 4 for t he receiving mode and select one detail line on the Work With Receipts form, then the system displays all of the lines for the shipment number.
If you work in an inventory environment, you can specify the warehouse location in which to store items upon receipt. If a certain location is full, you can assign items to multiple locations. If you group items by lot, you can assign items to a single lot or to multiple lots. If necessary, you can specify serial numbers for these items. If the receiving branch/plant has license plate functionality activated, you can use the processing options on the Warehouse tab, and license plate branch/plant constants, to process license plate information for adding inventory to the location.
When a direct ship order is created in Sales Order Management, the system automatically creates a corresponding purchase order. For a direct ship order, you must enter a receipt in order to update the corresponding sales order with the new status information. However, if you enter a partial receipt, the system splits the corresponding order detail lines on the direct ship sales order, and updates only the order detail line that was received.
