Receiving Purchase Order Items

To take advantage of the purchasing authorizations established during the requisition and purchasing process, goods and services received need to be referenced against a purchase order.

Steps in receiving a shipment against a purchase order might include:

• Selecting the purchase order.

• Receiving and rejecting shipment quantities.

• Viewing purchase order comments on receipt lines.

• Viewing receipt lines.

• Entering receipt header and line comments.

• Entering asset information.

• Entering receipt activities.

• Entering inventory putaway information.

• Entering serial, lot, and tag information.

• Entering device-tracking information.

Not all of these actions are required for every purchase order receipt. It depends on the items received and the method of receiving.
