This chapter contains these topics:
Section 37.5, "Entering Reversals for Items in a Receipt Route,"
Section 37.6, "Reviewing the History of Items in a Receipt Route."
You can monitor items from the moment that they leave a supplier's warehouse. For example, you can process shipments of items through transit, your dock, the staging area, and inspection before updating the status of the items to on-hand.
The receipt route for an item determines the series of operations through which you process an item after you take receipt. For example, if a receipt route includes four operations, such as transit, dock, inspection, and stock, the system enters the item in the transit operation when you enter a receipt. You must transfer the item to each subsequent operation in the route.
You can remove (disposition) items from a receipt route. For example, you might reject an item that does not pass inspection. In this case, the system removes the quantity that you reject from the receipt route. If you return an item, you can generate an order to replace the items.
You can review information about the transfer and removal of items in a receipt route. For example, you can determine the amount of time that a shipment of items was at the dock before it was transferred to stock. You can also review the quantity of items in a shipment that did not pass inspection.

You can review the current operation for items in a receipt route. For example, if you recently received a shipment of items, and the receipt route for the items includes a dock and inspection operation, you can review the quantity of the item at the dock and the quantity of the item under inspection.

From Receipt Routing (G43A14), choose Movement and Disposition
The receipt route you assign to an item determines the series of operations through which you process the item upon receipt (for example, transit, staging, and stock). The system enters an item into the first operation of the route upon receipt. You must transfer the item to subsequent operations in the route.
You can set processing option 7 in your version of Movement and Disposition (P43250) to determine the operations to which you can transfer items in a receipt route. For example, if the order of operations is staging, inspection, and stock, you can transfer items to:
The next operation only (for example, staging to inspection and inspection to stock)
Any subsequent operation (for example, staging to stock)
Any operation (for example, stock back to staging)
After you transfer items to the last operation in a receipt route, the system prompts you to perform a final receipt. At this time, the system updates items to a received (on-hand) status.

You might need to remove (disposition) items from a receipt route. For example, you can return items to the supplier or reject items that do not pass inspection. You must use one of the following categories to indicate the quantity of items that you want to remove from the receipt route:
Returns
Reworks
Scrap
Rejects
Adjustments
After you remove items from a receipt route, the system subtracts the quantities you enter from the quantity at the current operation.
If you decide to return an item, the system automatically credits the original purchase order. You can generate a new purchase order line to replace the returned items. The system adds the line to the original purchase order.
To remove items from a receipt route
On Movement and Disposition (P43250)
Enter Option 2 next to a detail line to access Routing Disposition (P43253).
On Routing Disposition, complete the following fields to remove items:
Returned Quantity
Reworked Quantity
Scrapped Quantity
Rejected Quantity
Adjusted Quantity
Reasons
If you specified a returned quantity, enter Y in the following field to have the system create a new purchase order line for the returned items:
Replacement (Y/N)
Replacement Information displays.
On Replacement Information, change information for the new purchase order detail line, as necessary.
Field | Explanation |
---|---|
Returned | The number of units that you are returning to the supplier during receipt routing. You can return goods for credit or for replacement. |
Reworked | The number of units that will be reworked during receipt routing. |
Scrapped | The number of units that you scrapped during receipt routing. |
Rejected | The number of units that you rejected during receipt routing. |
Adjusted | The number of units that you are removing from the receipt route for adjustment. |
Reasons | A user defined code (system 42/type RC) that explains the purpose for a transaction. For example, you can indicate the reason that you are returning items, such as the goods were damaged in shipment or too many goods were shipped.
Form-specific information A code that identifies why items were dispositioned. |
Replacement (Y/N) | A code that indicates whether you want to replace the items that you are returning. Valid values are:
Y – Replace the items. The system credits the purchase order for the items you are returning and creates a new detail line for the replacement items. The Replacement Information window displays after you disposition the items so that you can enter information for the new detail line. Blank – Do not replace the items. The system credits the purchase order for the items you are returning. |

You might inadvertently enter a receipt for an item. You can reverse the receipt for an item that the system processes through a receipt route.
You must perform two receipts for an item in a receipt route:
An initial receipt
A final receipt
When you perform the initial receipt, the system enters the item in its receipt route. The system prompts you to perform the final receipt when you transfer the item to the last operation in the receipt route, at which time the system updates the item to an on-hand status.
If you inadvertently enter a final receipt, you can reverse it by moving the item back to a previous operation in the receipt route. To do this, you must set processing option 4 in your version of Movement and Disposition (P43250) to display items that have completed their route. You must also set processing option 7 to allow item movement to any operation.
If you did not intend for an item to enter receipt routing to begin with, you must reverse the initial receipt using the Enter Receipts program (P4312), which removes the item from the receipt route. The item must be at the first operation in the receipt route before you can reverse the initial receipt.
If you removed items from the receipt route due to returns, rejects, or so forth, you must reverse the item removals before you can reverse the receipt.
To enter reversals for items in a receipt route
On Movement and Disposition (P43250)
Locate the items that you want to reverse.
For items that have completed their receipt route, the Move Oper field is blank.
To transfer an item to a previous operation in the receipt route, complete the following field:
Move Oper
If an item completed its receipt route, the system displays Receipts by PO/Item/Account with a negative quantity and extended cost. Press Enter to reverse the final receipt (on-hand status) of the item.
Figure 37-5 Receipts by PO/Item/Account (Reversals) screen
To reverse the item out of the receipt routing process altogether, you must move the item to the first operation in the receipt route and reverse the receipt from the Enter Receipts program (P4312).

You can review information about the movement of items from one operation to another in a receipt route. For example, you can review when a group of items was moved from inspection to stock, as well as who moved the items and on what date. You can also determine how long the items were at a certain operation.
You can also review information about the removal of items from a receipt route. For example, you can review the quantity of items in a shipment that did not pass inspection and the quantity of items that were returned to the supplier.
The system might create journal entries when you move items to a new operation or remove items from a receipt route. You can identify whether the system created journal entries for each item moved or removed.
You can specify whether you want to review movement or removal transactions. You can indicate the operations for which you want to review movement. For example, you can review only those transactions for which items at the dock were moved to staging.
The system maintains the transaction history for items in a receipt route in the Receipt Routing Ledger table (F43099).
