| # How to receive goods This topic describes how to create receipts and link various types of records to the receipts. After creating receipts, you must confirm the receipts before you can store the goods in the warehouse. How to confirm receipts is described in Confirming receipts and receipt lines. For a general overview of receipt procedures, see Receipt and inspection procedures. You can perform the receipt of goods in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. In this session, you can receive goods listed on the following types of records: Advance shipment notices (ASNs) ASN lines Expected orders Expected order lines Handling units Loads and shipments from the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session and the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session. Expected orders are inbound warehousing orders that are expected to be received in (one of) your warehouses. Expected orders are displayed in the Expected Orders (whinh3822m000) session. Expected order lines are inbound warehousing order lines that are expected to be received in (one of) your warehouses. Expected order lines are displayed in the Expected Order Lines (whinh3820m000) session. In this session, you can also record unexpected goods, that is, goods for which no expected order (line) exists yet. Note To receive goods based on handling units, see To receive handling units. How to create a receipt To create a new receipt record, proceed as follows: In the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session, click , or from the appropriate menu, select New. If the Receipt field is in entry mode, select a receipt series or use the default series. Note that the Select Receipt Series check box and the Receipts field in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session determine wheter the Receipt field is in read-only or entry mode. If the Warehouse field is in entry mode, select a warehouse. Note that the Warehouse field in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session determine wheter the Warehouse field is in read-only or entry mode. If required, enter a ship-from business partner and fill the fields of the Delivery group box. The purpose of these fields is to provide further information of the receipt, the relevance of which is determined by your local situation. Note that default values for these fields are filled from the receipt lines after you have linked inbound-order lines, advance shipment notices, or handling units to the receipt. How to link order lines, ASNs, loads, shipments, or handling units to a receipt After you create a receipt, you must link inbound order lines, advance shipment notices, shipments, loads, or handling units to the receipt. As a result, ERP Enterprise creates receipt lines for the linked inbound order lines and the inbound order lines on which the linked handling units, shipments, loads, or ASN lines are based. The following options are available to link these types of records to a receipt:
Option | Available for record type | Refer to
--- | --- | ---
Receive | Inbound order lines, ASN lines, ASN line reference, handling units, loads and shipments | Receive (Easy Entry)
High Volume Entry | Inbound order lines | High Volume Entry
Expected Orders | Inbound order lines | To link expected order lines
Receipt Filter | Inbound order lines, ASN lines, handling units, planned loads and shipments | Receipt Filter
Expected Shipments | ASN lines | To link expected shipment lines to receipts
To receive unexpected goods When an item arrives for which no expected order (line) is present, you can use the Add Unexpected Receipt Line command to create a temporary receipt line in which you can enter receipt details. To confirm and process the unexpected receipt line, an order line must be available for the unexpected receipt line. The order line must be released to warehousing. If the order line is released to warehousing, you can link the resulting warehousing order line to the unexpected receipt by means of the Link Order to Unexpected Receipt Line command in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. Automatic receipts You can also specify that ERP Enterprise automatically carries out receipts. The receipt of goods is carried out automatically if: The warehousing order type is linked to a receipt procedure for which the defined activities have the Automatic check box selected. Orders are reported completed in the Report Orders Completed (tisfc0520m000) session and you confirm that the inbound procedure must be processed automatically. For more information on reporting orders completed, refer to Reporting as completed. After receipt After you have performed the receipt of goods, the receipt must be confirmed. After confirming the goods, the next step of the applicable warehousing procedure can be carried out.
