General Receiving Parameter Options

Receiving parameters define receiving preferences at the organization level. General receiving parameters must be set up before you can use Oracle Receiving for recording and transacting receipts.

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Receiving Parameters task to set up your general receiving parameters:

• Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

• Functional Area: Receiving

• Task: Manage Receiving Parameters

General Receiving Parameters

This table describes the general receiving parameters.

Receiving Parameter Display Name	Effect
Ship-to Exception Action	Determines whether the supplier can put away to a receiving location that differs from the ship-to location. Select one of the following options: None: The receiving location may differ from the ship-to location. Reject: No receipts are permitted when the receiving location differs from the ship-to location. Warning: A warning message is displayed, but receipts are permitted when the receiving location differs from the ship-to location.
ASN Control Action	Determines the action if receiving against purchase order shipments for which an advance shipment notice (ASN) exists. Select one of the following options: None: Does not prevent or warn you when you receive against a purchase order shipment for which an ASN exists. Reject: Gives you a message and prevents you from receiving against a purchase order shipment for which an ASN exists. Warning: Gives you a message informing you that an ASN exists for the purchase order shipment. It lets you decide whether or not to receive against the purchase order shipment or its ASN.
Early Receipt Tolerance in Days	Sets the maximum acceptable days early for a receipt.
Late Receipt Tolerance in Days	Sets the maximum acceptable days late for a receipt.
Receipt Days Exceed Action	Determines the action for when receipts are earlier or later than the allowed number of days. Select one of the following options: None: Receipts may exceed the allowed days early or late. Reject: Rejects receipts when the receive date is outside the range defined by the early and late receipt tolerances. Warning: Displays a warning message, but permits receipts outside the selected number of days early or late.
Over-Receipt Action	Determines how the application handles receipts that exceed the received quantity tolerance. Select one of the following options: None: Receipts may exceed the selected tolerance. No over-receipt tolerance is enforced. Reject: Rejects receipts that exceed the selected tolerance. You receive an error message and can't receive quantities that exceed the order quantity by more than the over-receipt tolerance percent. Warning: Receipts may exceed the selected tolerance with a warning. A warning message appears if you accept receipts over the quantity determined by the over-receipt tolerance percent. The application does perform the receipt. Note: You can also set up quantity tolerances for the item at the purchase order level during purchase order creation. If tolerances are set up at both the purchase order level and the organization level, the tolerance settings at the purchase order level override the tolerance settings at the organization level.
Over-Receipt Tolerance	Enter the percentage of quantity that can be received in excess of the order quantity.
Receipt Routing	Sets the default receipt routing that you assign goods. You can override this option at receipt time by changing the destination type for specific suppliers, items, and orders if the Allow Routing Override user profile is enabled. Select one of the following options: Direct Delivery: Receive shipments and put away to a specific location in one transaction. Standard Receipt: Receive shipments and put away items in a separate transaction. Inspection Required: Requires quality assurance inspection after receipt and before put away.
Use quality inspection plan	If enabled, let's you complete inspection through a quality inspection plan using the Quality Inspection pages.
Allow substitute receipts	If enabled, you can receive defined substitutes in place of ordered items. You must define substitute items on the Item Relationships page before you can receive them. You can override this option for specific suppliers, items, and orders.
Allow unordered receipts	If enabled, you can receive an item without documentation. If you select this option, you can later match the unordered receipt to the appropriate document number. If you enable this option, you can override it for specific suppliers and items.
Enforce blind receiving	If enabled, the quantity due or quantity ordered for each shipment isn't visible on the receipt. Blind receiving helps you ensure that receivers record the exact amount they receive. Receiving ignores all quantity receipt tolerances to help ensure that you can receive the exact amount that the supplier shipped.
Print receipt traveler	If enabled, automatically generates summary reports of receipt performance. Note: To specify a printer and print the report, launch the Print Receipt Traveler Report from the Scheduled Processes work area.
Include closed purchase orders for receipts	If enabled, you can receive closed purchase orders.
Allow routing override	If enabled, you can override the receipt routing at receipt time. You can override this option at receipt time by changing the destination type for specific suppliers, items, and orders.
Process all lines together	If enabled, ensures that individual lines are processed if all expected lines don't arrive.
Print shipping documents for returns to suppliers	If enabled, requires the printing of shipping documents for return to supplier transactions. This calls a two-step return process in which you create the return to supplier transaction in Receiving and then the shipping agent must ship confirm the return shipment in Oracle Shipping.
Print shipping documents for drop ship orders	If enabled, requires the printing of shipping documents for drop ship orders. This option creates the shipments for drop ship orders after the supplier creates the ASN for the drop ship order.
Print shipping documents for return material authorizations	If enabled, requires the printing of shipping documents for return material authorizations. This option creates the shipments for return material authorization orders after RMAs are created in Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management.
Publish transactional business events	If enabled, you can publish all transactional events such as receipt, put away, correction, and return. Events are published at all times, even without internal integration needs.
Allow defaulting of lots and serial numbers from ASN	If enabled, let's you select the Default Lots and Serial Numbers from ASN check box to accept all the lot and serial numbers entered on the ASN or ASBN in a single transaction (without going to the Record Lots and Serial Numbers page). This option is applicable to these pages: Receive Lines Receive Line Put Away Lines Put Away Line
