Understanding Receipt Routing

When configuring the portal, buyers specify the suppliers and other individuals who are authorized to move goods. Provided that you have the appropriate authority, you can move an item through the receipt routing process, which completes the receipts process and updates inventory. Typically, the person who is responsible for moving an item through receipt routing is the supplier. However, a customs operator, buyer, or transportation provider might also move an item through receipt routing.

Using the Self-Service - Movement in Routing program (P43250SS), you can search for orders that are in the routing process by:

• Item number

• Purchase order number

• Order type

• Supplier

• Route step

• Order date

• Container ID

Steps represent the various statuses within the routing process, and you predefine the steps in the processing options for the Receipt Routing Movement and Disposition program (P43250). To perform movement in routing, you must have a multi-step route. You cannot have a single-step route.

After you locate and review the appropriate order, you can move the items on the order and change detail information such as the quantity to move, receipt date, lot information, container ID, and reason code.

After you change values for the order information, the system updates the following tables:

• Purchase Order Receiver File (F43121)

• Purchase Order Receipt Routing File (F43092)

• Account Ledger (F0911)

• P.O. Detail Ledger File - Flexible Version (F43199)

• Item Location File (F41021)
