      <Paragraph>In this function, all operational activities are controlled from
		the moment goods are announced as shipped to the warehouse until the moment
		goods are ready to be stored in a warehouse storage or inspection area. This
		function controls the unloading of trucks and the checking of items and packing
		material quantities against expected orders, carrier paperwork, and hazardous
		material identification. If advance shipping notices (ASNs) are available,
		these notices will be used to select the corresponding expected inbound orders.
		If an expected order was not delivered completely, this function can determine
		whether more goods are expected shortly. Otherwise, the receipt can be
		closed.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>Process: Receive goods, advanced (code:
		MWH01a)</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The objective of this process is to handle physical receipt of
		goods at the warehouse in an advanced environment. In this environment, several
		receipts are carried out each day, so high volumes are supported. Every new
		receipt is registered and, if expected, a goods-received note is printed to get
		the details of the purchase order involved. You can use this note to check
		whether all items are received and also to note differences, if any. If ASNs
		are used, you can also link the ASNs to the receipt. Actual data is recorded
		and you must confirm receipt to complete the receiving process.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Because the goods are received in a receipt location (dock), you
		must subsequently run the store goods process ( <Link href="/baanerp/tg/ebm/ff/ff001430" role="manual">Function: Storage</Link>) to transfer the goods from the
		receiving location to the final storage location.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>In addition, you can also fulfill possible cross-dock orders
		here. When goods are allocated on the staging location, then by means of a
		cross-dock order, you can transfer the goods from the receipt location
		immediately to the staging location without storing the goods first in a
		storage location.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If items must be inspected before being stored, you must
		subsequently run the allocation process to transfer the goods from the
		receiving location to the inspection location, and then carry out the
		inspection process ( <Link href="/baanerp/tg/ebm/ff/ff001420" role="manual">Function: Inspection</Link>).</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To be able to carry out the process properly, make sure that all
		the activities used in this process are set up as a part of the warehouse order
		type that is used for receipt.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When you work with handling units, such as pallets and boxes,
		you can also receive the pallets and boxes instead of receiving orders. By
		selecting the handling unit, several activities such as ‘ print goods received
		note’ and ‘ confirm receipt’ are possible.</Paragraph>

         <ListItem>The warehouse has locations, therefore, goods are unloaded at a
		  receiving location, after which the goods are stored in another, more permanent
		  location or cross-docked to the staging location.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>If unexpected receipts occur, you can unload the goods and
		  register the goods in the system. However, you cannot inbound the goods
		  completely until you know where the shipment comes from and to whom the
		  shipment belongs.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>When working with handling units, the receipt should be made
		  for these handling units.</ListItem>

      <SectionTitle>Process: Receive goods, basic (code: MWH01b)</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>In this variant, only the required activities are performed. The
		basic receipt process is used in a rather simple warehouse environment, where
		goods are stored at random, without a complex system of locations behind the
		process. Therefore, the total inbound process is finished when the receipt is
		confirmed. No subsequent inbound processes are performed
		afterwards.</Paragraph>
