Allow Receipt to Suspense (A59)
Purpose: Use this screen to define whether inventory can be received into suspense prior to being transferred into active inventory.
Placing merchandise into suspense can help you quickly move merchandise from the loading dock to a secured setting where it can be processed for quality control.
When merchandise is received into suspense:
• It is not available for order fulfillment.
• Inventory is not updated until the merchandise is transferred from suspense to inventory.
• Suspended merchandise is not available for reservation and picking.
Yes/no field: If you select this field, inventory can be received into suspense prior to being transferred into on-hand.
Inventory can be received into suspense using the Work with P/O Receipt Detail Screen:
• You can receive the entire balance of the purchase order into suspense using the Receive Suspense option. In this situation, the quantity due for each item on the purchase order is placed into suspense and the purchase order is closed. See Receiving an Entire Purchase Order Into Suspense for instructions.
• You can receive a purchase order line into suspense using the Suspense On/Off option: Select this option for an item on a purchase order to change the suspense receiving status of the line. The word Suspense displays next to the Location field and indicates the line item will be placed into suspense when the purchase order is accepted. If the word Suspense is not displayed, the quantity received for the line will be placed into inventory. A Location is not required if you are placing the item into suspense. See Using the Direct Entry Method or Using the Change Purchase Order Details Method for instructions on working with individual line items during PO Receipts.
If you leave this field unselected, inventory must be placed into warehouse locations at Receiving, and on-hand is updated at receiving time. You are restricted from receiving into suspense: The Receive Suspense and Suspense On/Off options are not available on the Work with P/O Receipt Detail Screen.
