The Receive Verify process is the first step in receiving product into inventory. Receive product that is listed on:
A single purchase order (P/Os).
Multiple P/Os, worked simultaneously.
Entire P/Os as a whole using the Electronic Data Interface companion product.
In addition, use nonstock receiving to locate nonstock items into pre-defined nonstock locations or to immediately cross-dock nonstock items. Also view all items tagged to orders so you can locate these items into the correct location.
During receive verification, if you come across quantity variances, handle the overages or shortages right away. The system notifies the purchasing agent of the quantity variance, as well as places the variance in the Warehouse In Process Status Queue for warehouse resolution.
Every item that you receive must have a valid, scannable bar code label. If a product arrives at the dock without a bar code label or with a manufacturer's bar code label that is not cross-referenced in the system:
Generate a new bar code label.
Cross-reference the existing manufacturer's bar code with the system.
Also, for lot-controlled product, assign lot numbers during receive verifying.
