Receive Ad Hoc Goods Using a Mobile Device

An inventory organization uses miscellaneous adjustments to item quantities for various reasons. For example, a supply of goods was discovered and needs to be properly accounted for, or a previously issued item wasn't used and needs to be returned for a future requirement. Now you can receive goods using a mobile device to scan the item and location information, and then enter the quantity before completing the transaction.

In update 24B, you could only perform miscellaneous issues using a mobile device. With the addition of miscellaneous receipts in this update, the Miscellaneous Issue task name has been changed to Miscellaneous Transactions, and users can select either a seeded or user-defined transaction type before performing the transaction.

You're able to walk towards the counter with a mobile device, scan the item, input the quantity, scan or enter the location information (locator and subinventory), and add the item to a list. Additionally, you can add items to the list by scanning or entering numerous items at once.

Add Item

Before submitting, you can review the items that you added to the list and make any necessary adjustments by clicking the Edit (pencil) button. Then, add an account and complete the transaction submission.

Receive Item

You have the ability to scan or input lot and serial number details, such as supplier lot, lot origination date, lot maturity date, lot expiration date, and supplier serial number.

Lot and Serial Attributes

This feature provides you the ability to quickly and efficiently receive goods into your warehouse or stockroom in real time.
