How do I find items to receive?

Click the Receiving tab to go to the Receiving Home page. Look for recently ordered items in the Requisitions to Receive section, click "Receive Items," or use the Search feature that is near the top of the page.

Alternatively, in the Receiving Home page, go to the Requisitions to Receive region and click Full List. The Receive Requisitions page opens.

Note that the full list of requisitions is populated based on the value of the profile option POR: Number of Days for Requisitions Due. If the value of the profile option is set to 20 days, all requisitions that are due to be received in the past 20 days are displayed in the Receive Requisitions page.

Enter or select the relevant search critieria to further filter the list of requisitions. Use the Requisitions Due dropdown list to select the requisitions that are due in a certain timeframe (for example: last 30 days, last 7 days, Today, Next 30 days, Any Time). The due date is calculated based on the Need-By Date.

Use the profile option POR: Default Receipt Quantity to Null, to enable you to enter the received quantity that you require, and not the default value that displays to show the remaining quantity to be received. If you set the value of this profile option to Yes, the Receipt Quantity will display as 0 or null, and you can update it accordingly. If you set the value of the profile option to No, the remaining quantity to be received is defaulted. The default value of the profile option is No.

Can I receive the entire requisition?

On the Receiving page, do any of the following:

When you click Receive Items, the Receive Items: Select Items page appears. Use the search criteria to narrow down your search for specific requisitions that you need to receive. You can personalize the search results region by adding or removing columns such as Requisition, Item Number, Description, Need-By, Primary UOM, Primary Quantity, Receipt Quantity/Amount, Unit, and so on.

Enter or select the relevant search criteria to filter the complete list of requisitions. Use the Item Due drop-down list to select the requisitions that are due in a timeframe (For example: last 30 days, last 7 days, Today, Next 30 days, Any Time). The due date is calculated based on the Need-By Date.

What is Express Receive?

You can see Express Receive only if your administrator allows it. With Express Receive, you receive the items in one step, accepting the order quantity as the receipt quantity.

How do I expand the search for items to receive?

On the Receiving page click Receive Items to open the Receive Items page.

The Receive Items: Select Items page opens, with the search criteria – Requester, Requisition Number, Supplier, Order Number, Shipment Number, Items Due, and Items Number. Click Go to search for the requisition to receive. You can personalize the search results region to add or remove columns according to business needs. If you search by the requester and cannot find the requester, then select the option to include employees from all organizations (not just your own).

Can I receive internally sourced items?

Yes, it is possible to receive against internally sourced requisition lines (internal sales orders) as long as the receipt routing is set to Direct Delivery. You can search for internally sourced lines by requisition number, shipment number, or order number.

You cannot create a return against an internal sales order receipt, nor can you correct an internal receipt to an inventory destination.

Can I create receipts against items found on multiple pages?

Yes, you can select items (lines) across multiple pages and create a single receipt against these items.

Can I receive Outside Processing (OSP) items?

The receipt of OSP items can be done only when the status of the OSP Batch step is Released or Completed and the batch is not terminated.

If the status of the OSP Batch Step is Pending, Closed or Cancelled, then Receiving cannot be performed.
