Receipt Routing

Receipt routing enables you to track the location of purchased items after they leave the supplier's warehouse. Receipt routing enables you to know where products are located: whether they are on the way to the warehouse, in the receiving process, or in the warehouse. Receipt routing provides improved customer service levels to the purchasing department's internal customers. Receipt routing can also be used to record the disposition of items out of the receiving process if they do not meet the specifications outlined on the purchase order. An example of the steps that an item might move through in a given receipt route include:

• In transit

• In customs

• In inspection

• Received into stock
