Receipt Routing

Oracle Receiving supports the receipt of purchase orders, return material authorizations (RMAs), and interorganization shipments in each of three receipt routing methods.

These receipt routing methods include:

• Direct delivery

• Standard receipt

• Inspection required

You can override the receipt routing option at receipt time by changing the destination type for specific suppliers, items, and orders if the receiving user profile for the Allow Routing Override option is enabled.

Direct Delivery

Shipments are received into a receiving location and put away in the same transaction. Put away happens automatically upon receipt creation.

Standard Receipt

Shipments are received into a receiving location and then put away in a separate transaction. Standard receipts can be inspected or transferred before put away.

Inspection Required

Shipments are received into a receiving location and then inspected and put away in separate transactions. You can accept or reject material during the inspection, and put away to separate locations, based on the inspection result.
