Receiving

In a WMS integration, all receiving, inspection, and putaway activities are performed using the WMS. To confirm that stock has been received for a purchase order or an interunit transfer, the WMS sends a receipt confirmation transaction to the PeopleSoft system using the Purchase Order Receipt EIP or the Interunit Receipt EIP.

For both purchase order and interunit receipts, the receipt confirmation transaction includes header information and receipt lines with details about what was physically received at the business unit under WMS control.

The WMS can include the receipt ID and receipt line number in either of the receipt confirmation transactions. To ensure that receipt IDs assigned by the WMS are unique, define a range of ID numbers during implementation for exclusive use by the WMS. If the receipt ID is not included on the confirmation , the PeopleSoft system generates one automatically.

If either of the receipt confirmation transactions includes the material storage location data, the item is put away to the specified material storage location. Otherwise, the item is put away using the putaway rules defined for the business unit.

Blind receipts from a WMS are not accepted. All receipt confirmation data that the WMS sends must have a valid purchase order number or interunit ID number.

In PeopleSoft Purchasing, the Receiver Load process (PO_RECVLOAD) processes the purchase order receipt confirmation transactions. The Receiver Load process can accept purchase order receipts at either the purchase order line or schedule level. During a WMS implementation, consider these processing rules when deciding how best to use this functionality:

• When working at the schedule level, the Receiver Load process receives the full quantity against a given schedule line number.

  When working at the line level, the Receiver Load process applies the full quantity received to the first open schedule for that line unless the Allow Receipt Load Cascade option is enabled to cascade receipts across multiple schedules. If the cascading feature is enabled, any full quantity is applied to the first schedule, and any excess quantity is applied to the next schedule, and so on until the full quantity is consumed. You set the Allow Receipt Load Cascade option on the Purchasing Definition - Business Unit Options page.

• The inventory business unit is included in the receipt transaction to associate the receipts to the appropriate distribution line.

  If the inventory business unit is included on the transaction, the receipt affects only the quantity for the business unit's distribution line. If the inventory business unit is blank, the quantity received is received against each distribution line until the entire quantity for the schedule is received.

The Interunit Receiving process (INPJIURV) processes the interunit transfer receipt confirmation transactions. When an interunit receipt is completely received and closed, an interunit expected receipt transaction is generated with a status of Received. The Received status on the transaction indicates that the transfer order can be closed in the WMS system.
