Receiving Attribute Group

Following are the Receiving attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when defining or updating items. See: Defining Items and Updating Organization Level Items.

Receipt Date Action

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

None No receipt date exception enforced.
Reject Reject receipts when the receive date is outside the range defined by Days Early Receipt Allowed or Days Late Receipt Allowed.
Warning Display a warning message if you attempt to receive an item outside the range defined by Days Early Receipt Allowed or Days Late Receipt Allowed, but perform the receipt, anyway.

Receipt Days Early

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Enter the number of days before the promise date you can receive an item without warning or rejection. For example, if you enter 3 and the promise date is a Friday, you can receive the item on Tuesday.

Note that Oracle Purchasing uses regular calendar days (including weekends and holidays) in this calculation.

If the promise date does not exist, Oracle Purchasing uses the need by date.

Receipt Days Late

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Enter the number of days after the promise date you can receive an item without warning or rejection. For example, if you enter 2 and the promise date is a Monday, you can receive the item on Wednesday.

Note that Oracle Purchasing uses regular calendar days (including weekends and holidays) in this calculation.

If the promise date does not exist, Oracle Purchasing uses the need by date.

Overreceipt Quantity Control Action

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

None No over tolerance enforced.
Reject Reject receipts over the tolerance quantity. You receive an error message and are prevented from receiving quantities exceeding the order quantity by more than the Quantity Received Tolerance percent.
Warning A warning message displays if you accept receipts over the quantity determined by the Overreceipt Quantity Control Tolerance percent, but does perform the receipt.

Overreceipt Quantity Control Tolerance

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Enter the quantity received tolerance percent, the maximum acceptable over-receipt percentage, used by the Overreceipt Quantity Control Action attribute. For example, if the tolerance percent is 5, then the acceptable quantity on a receipt transaction is within 5% of the quantity you order on a purchase order line. Any quantity more than 5% over the order quantity is unacceptable.

Allow Substitute Receipts

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Indicate whether to allow receipt of defined substitutes in place of this item. You define valid substitutes with the Item Relationships window. See: Defining Item Relationships. Leave this field blank if you want Inventory to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item. See: Defining Receiving Options.

Allow Unordered Receipts

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Indicate whether you can receive an item without a purchase order. If this option is on, you can later match the receipt to the appropriate purchase order. If this option is off, all receipts for an item must have a corresponding purchase order. Leave this field blank if you want Inventory to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item. See: Defining Receiving Options.

Allow Express Transactions

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Indicate whether you can deliver all distributions for this item with one data entry transaction if the quantity to deliver equals the purchase order line balance. If this option is turned off, you must deliver individual distributions separately. Leave this field blank if you want Inventory to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item. See: Defining Receiving Options.

Receipt Routing

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Direct At receipt, deliver an item directly to its location.
Inspection Receive an item first, inspect it, then deliver.
Standard Receive an item first, then deliver without inspection.

Enforce Ship-To

ORACLE PURCHASING ONLY

Select an option to control whether the supplier can deliver to a location that differs from the ship-to location defined on the purchase order:

None No ship-to location enforced.
Reject Prevent receipt of items not received to their purchase order ship-to location.
Warning Display a warning message if you attempt to receive an item to a location that differs from the purchase order ship-to location, but perform the receipt, anyway.
