Receipts

When the supplier ships goods to the customer, the supplier can enter a receipt to indicate that the customer has received the item. During receipts processing, any changes in the cost are updated to the corresponding sales order detail line, unless you use the standard costing method.

For partial receipts, the system splits the sales order detail lines to reflect the quantity that remains to be received. For receipt of lots and serialized information, the system splits the sales order detail line to correspond to lot and serial information on the purchase order.

When you reverse the receipt of an order detail line, the system updates the status of the sales order detail line.

(Release 9.2 Update) To transfer an order from one branch/plant to another branch/plant you must create a sales transfer order. The system automatically creates a purchase transfer order for every sales transfer order that is created. Additionally the system populates the lot number for a sales transfer order and leaves the field blank for the corresponding purchase transfer order if the Inventory Lot Creation field is deactivated in the Branch/Plant Constants for the receiving branch/plant. You can view all the created purchase transfer orders in the Purchase Order Detail File (F4311) table and also access these orders through the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310). You can ship confirm a transfer sales order on the Ship Confirmation program (P4205) by using the in-transit accounting concept. The corresponding purchase transfer order is automatically received by the receiving branch/plant. You can also manually receive the purchase transfer order using the PO Receipts program (P4312). Once the lot number is set as blank by deactivating the Inventory Lot Creation field in the Branch/Plant Constants for the receiving branch/plant you cannot manually enter the lot number.
