Receiving Locations

Receiving locations are for your company's shipping addresses. Your company may have multiple addresses it ships to, which could be each location/plant, a regional distribution center, or possibly a third party facility such as a manufacturing plant receiving parts.

Receiving locations are distinct from accounts payable locations since the purchase may be shipped to a plant location while the invoice should be sent to the regional office for accounts payable processing. Receiving locations are only available in the Purchases application. When created, you can choose the appropriate receiving location when creating the PO so that the vendor can ship the purchase to the correct shipping address.

To create a Receiving location:

1. Go to Administration > Application Settings > Purchases > Receiving locations.

2. Select New Receiving location from the Create Button.

3. Enter the Receiving location name (required), the Demographic Information and Receiving Address information (most critical).

4. Add Notes, if desired.

5. Click Save.
