Receiving PO - Fluid Search page

When you access the Receiving PO page, the system provides default values from the PeopleSoft system Purchasing set up pages, including user preferences setup. To view all of the default settings, click the Advanced Search and the Options links.

You can change the values which will become the default values on the mobile device until you exit the transaction. The changes that you make are only recognized by the receiving transaction and not recognized by other mobile transactions. The changes do not update the user preferences settings in the PeopleSoft system.

Expand the Advanced section to view and update additional search criteria for purchase orders. Values in these fields are used to qualify the list of purchase orders.

Field or Control

Description

Business Unit

Displays the receiving business unit from the user's default business unit. You can change the business unit. The field is required.

Receipt ID

Enter the receipt ID that you want to use to create the receipt. The system assigns the ID or number when you save the receipt. The default value for the field is Next. You do not have to enter a number if you use the default value. The assigned number is based on the autonumbering sequence defined in the PeopleSoft system for receipts. This field is required.

PO Business Unit (purchase order unit)

Enter a purchase order business unit. The system defaults the value from user preferences. You can also use the Receipts page in the PeopleSoft system to record the receipt.

Order ID

Enter the purchase order number or purchasing contract number. Entering a contract ID retrieves all of the purchase order schedules associated with the contract.

If you enter a value in this field and tab out of the field, the system immediately initiates the search to find the purchase orders that matched the value. If there is at least one row that matches the search, the system displays the Receive Lines page.

Advanced

Click to expand the Advanced table where you can define additional purchase order search criteria.

Ship To

Enter the ship to location for the purchase order schedules. This field defaults from the User Preferences - Procurement setting for the Ship To Location field. You can override the value. The business unit and ship to unit do not need to have the same value.

Item ID

Enter an item ID to which you want to limit the purchase order search.

After entering an alternate identifier in this field, the system may change the value depending on the option selected in the Alternate Item Display field on the Options page for the task flow.

See Setting Up Alternative Item Identifiers.

Note: Barcode scanning is supported if the corresponding switch is enabled.

Supplier

Enter a supplier short name to which you want to limit the purchase order search. When you perform the search, the system retrieves only those purchase orders for the supplier short name that you enter.

Supplier Item ID

Enter a supplier item ID to which you want to limit the purchase order search. When you perform the search, the system retrieves only those purchase orders for the supplier item that you enter. When entering a value in the Supplier Item ID field, a supplier is required in the Supplier field.

Mfg ID (manufacturer ID)

Enter a manufacturer's ID to limit the purchase order search results to only those purchase orders with that manufacturer's ID.

Mfg Item ID (manufacturer item ID)

Enter the manufacturer's item ID to limit the search to just that item ID for the manufacturer.

Days +/- Today

Enter the number of days plus or minus from the current date. The system searches for purchase orders that have a due date within this range of days. This value defaults from the Receiver Setup page in the User Preference - Receiver Setup component.

You might need to change this value if an older purchase order is being received and the initial default value is too small so that the purchase order lines to be received do not appear. By increasing the number of days, you can find the lines and receive them.

You enter a value to further restrict or expand the number of purchase order schedules that appear within the start date and end date range. This value is added or subtracted from the current date to calculate the start date and end date values.

The default value appears from the User Preferences - Procurement: Receiver Setup page. You can also enter the start date and end date. The system selects all schedules with due dates that are on or within the two dates you enter.

Start Date

Enter the start day used as a comparison against the purchase order due date to determine which schedules to retrieve. If you change the start or end date values, the system does not change the Days +/- Todayfield value.

Note: If an Order ID is entered, this field is disabled.

End Date

Enter the end day used as a comparison against the purchase order due date to determine which schedules to retrieve. If you change the start or end date values, the system does not change the Days +/- Todayfield value.

Note: If an Order ID is entered, this field is disabled.

Search

Click to initiate the search for an order ID. The system searches for a purchase order ID or purchase order IDs that have the entered contract ID on the purchase order schedule. The returned search displays the purchase order schedules that can be received. You can receive one or all of the schedules.

The search results include the values that match the selection criteria of the advanced search. The values included in the Advanced search table are included when the search is initiated.

Reset

Click to reset the Ship To and Days +/- Today field search values in the Advanced Search table to the default values.

The system also clears other input fields such as Item, Supplier, Supplier Item ID, Mfg ID and Mfg Item because these fields do not have default values.

Use the Receiving PO - Receive Lines page to receive and define the quantity to receive.

View Selected and View All

Click the View Selected link to display the receipt rows that have been selected to be received.

Click the View All link to view all rows from the original purchase order line selections.

When you click either link, the system toggles to the other button. For example, when you initially access the Receiving PO — Fluid Receipt Main page, the system displays all purchase order rows and makes the View Selected link available. Then, after selecting or deselecting rows to include on the receipt, you can click the View Selected button to display just the rows that you've selected. When you access the list, the system displays the View All link that you can click to return to the original list.

This feature is useful when the purchase order receiving quantity option is set to blind receiving or there is not a default quantity. In this case, as you enter receipt quantities, you can use the View Selected link to view the selected rows immediately.

Note: If the Set Select Checkbox is selected, all receipt rows on the search results page are also selected.

Save

Click to receive the items that you selected on this page. When you save the selections, the system performs similar logic as it does for the PeopleSoft system's online Receiving page to process the receipt. If the save is successful, the system displays the receipt number that it generated.

See Understanding the Receiving Business Process.

Note: If an error prevents the receipt from saving, the system provides an error message with information about the error. When an error occurs, the Receive Lines page displays only the lines that are being received. Lines with the Set Select Checkbox deselected will not be displayed.

You can use the View All button to see all lines for the original selection.

Note: After saving the items, the receipt processed fetches the UPN Type and UPN ID in purchasing.
