Receive Goods Using a Mobile Device

Quickly and accurately receiving your inbound shipments is a critical operation to keep your warehouse or stockroom running smoothly. In this update, you can now perform receiving tasks using a mobile device to scan key receiving information such as order numbers, item numbers, and manufacturer part numbers.

When receiving your goods, you can enter receipt details such as the received quantity and the put away subinventory and locator. You also have the ability to enter descriptive flexfield information and print labels. You can print delivery and item labels. In the event that your items are lot and serial number-controlled, you can print lot and serial number labels.

Steps to Enable

To enable the Inventory Management (New) work area icon and the mobile inventory features available in the work area, you must perform a set of steps to add the icon to the home page. Those steps are described at the beginning of the Mobile Inventory section in this document. If you've already done those steps, then you don't need to do them again.

In addition, to receive goods, you must perform the initial ingest, which requires submitting the ESS job to create index definition and perform Initial Ingest to OSCS scheduled process. This process will ingest purchase order expected receipts, transfer order expected receipts, advanced shipment notice expected receipts, and receiving transactions. This is a prerequisite step to use both the Receive Goods and Put Away Goods mobile pages.

  1. Login as the Supply Chain Application Administrator user.
  2. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes, and then click Schedule New Process.
  3. Search and select process name: ESS job to create index definition and perform Initial Ingest to OSCS

Parameter values for index name to reingest:

  • fa-scm-rcv-expected-po-receipts
  • fa-scm-rcv-expected-asn-receipts
  • fa-scm-rcv-expected-to-receipts
  • fa-scm-rcv-transactions

NOTE: If you don't specify any index names while submitting the process, the process will run for all predefined indexes for all product families. It's recommended that you create indexes for the index names listed here.

The Ingest Receiving Search Indexes scheduled process is used to ingest receipts performed outside of the Receive Goods page. For example, a receipt can be created through the Receiving Receipt Import FBDI, Receiving Receipt Requests REST API, or the existing Receive Expected Shipments page. In these cases, you will need to run this scheduled process to ensure your receipts are ingested. Additionally, inbound shipments such as advance shipment notices (ASN) and transfer order shipments can be created. In these cases, you also need to run this scheduled process to ensure your inbound shipments are ingested. It's recommended to run this process frequently to ensure your receipts and shipments are ingested in a timely manner. Receipts created through the Receive Goods page are ingested automatically.

  1. Login as the Supply Chain Application Administrator user.
  2. Navigate to Tools > Scheduled Processes, and then click Schedule New Process.
  3. Search and select the process name: Ingest Receiving Search Indexes
