Product receiving and delivery approval are handled very efficiently within Inventory Management. The system recalls the purchase order (PO) created during the ordering process, allowing item by item verification. Depending on various security and vendor option settings, you can make modifications to reflect changes to quantities received and currently invoiced prices. Information from this process updates stock on hand reporting in real time.
If you choose not to use the Inventory Management Ordering module for acquisition of goods, the receiving process can also function just as effectively. Rather than having a pre-established order to confirm, you would follow the same process of creating a list of items, and establishing quantities and prices for the delivery being received.
Oracle Hospitality recommends creating receipts from purchase orders whenever possible. If a site is not using Ordering, then create a receipt from a list. Receiving lists are similar to Ordering lists, except Ordering lists can contain more than one vendor. However, you can only receive from one vendor at a time.
