Receiving a Centralized Purchase Order
Centralized purchase orders are split into multiple item receipts that generate based on the Target Subsidiary and Target Location fields. The receipts retain the same order number. After receiving the items from a central purchase order, each receipt is associated with the target subsidiary and location. You can create the item receipt from the Receive Orders page or directly from the purchase order.
To receive a centralized purchase order:
-
Do one of the following:
-
Go to Transactions > Purchases > Receive Orders.
-
To receive the order directly from the purchase order, click Receive from the purchase order record. If you choose this option, the Receive Orders page automatically filters the Orders list by order number.
-
-
You can filter the Orders list in the following ways:
-
To filter by vendor, select a vendor in the Vendor field.
-
To filter by target subsidiary, select a subsidiary in the Target Subsidiary field.
-
To filter by order number, enter an order number in the Select Order Number field.
-
-
In the Orders list, click Receive next to the purchase order you want to receive.
Note:If you prefer, you can receive purchase orders in bulk. For more information, see Bulk Receiving Purchase Orders.
-
On the item receipt, click Save.
Alternatively, to save and automatically generate a bill, point to the Save button, and the select Save & Bill. The bill generated based on the receipt belongs to the parent subsidiary of the centralized purchase order.
