Options for Receiving Stock

After a PO is dispatched, the supplier ships the stock. When the stock arrives at the location, use the receiving area to record the receipt. PeopleSoft eProcurement offers several options for receiving stock:

Term	Definition
Casual user receiving	This is the default setting. Items are delivered directly to a casual user's desk or area without being routed through the central receiving department. For example, a Federal Express shipment is delivered directly to you or an assistant. To enter the receipt, the user opens the original requisition and links to the requisition's PO. The user then records the receipt on a simplified form.
Casual user receiving with edit and cancel privileges	A casual user can also be granted privileges to edit and cancel receipts and to override a supplier's return address. To have these privileges, the casual user's roles must contain a user role that is included under RECV_CASUAL_ALL on the eProcurement Role Actions page.
Receiving by Ship To Location	A casual user can be set up to receive all items shipped to a ship to location specified as the Default Ship To location in the Receiver Setup page. This is controlled by role action RECV_BY_SHIPTO.
No receiving privileges	To prevent the casual user from having access to the receiving area of PeopleSoft eProcurement, the roles must contain a user role that is included under NO_CASUAL_RECV on the eProcurement Role Actions page.
Power receiving	A power user is an individual in the receiving department or a purchasing professional who receives items by using the receiving pages in PeopleSoft Purchasing. The power user selects the PO and creates the receipt. The power user can also record a receipt without a PO. To be a power user, the roles must contain a user role that is included under RECV_POWER on the eProcurement Role Actions page.
