The following are the item receiving specification attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when you define or update items.

Item Receiving Specification Attributes

Attribute Name	Description
Action	Indicates action to be performed when the receive date is outside the range defined by Quantity Received Tolerance. None: No over tolerance enforced. Reject: Reject receipts over the tolerance quantity. An error message displays and you are prevented from receiving quantities exceeding the order quantity by more than the Quantity Received Tolerance percent. Warning: A warning message displays if you accept receipts over the quantity determined by the Over-Receipt Quantity Control Tolerance percent, but does perform the receipt.
Allow Express Transactions	Indicate whether you can deliver all distributions for this item with one data entry transaction if the quantity to deliver equals the purchase order line balance. If this option is cleared, you must deliver individual distributions separately. Leave this field blank if you want Inventory to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item.
Allow Substitute Receipts	Indicate whether to allow receipt of defined substitutes in place of this item. You define valid substitutes with the Item Relationships window. Leave this field blank if you want Inventory to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item.
Allow Unordered Receipts	Indicate whether you can receive an item without a purchase order. If this option is on, you can later match the receipt to the appropriate purchase order. If this option is off, all receipts for an item must have a corresponding purchase order. Leave this field blank if you want to use the value defined in the Receiving Options window for transactions involving this item.
Days Early	Enter the number of days before the promise date you can receive an item without warning or rejection. For example, if you enter 3 and the promise date is a Friday, you can receive the item on Tuesday.
Days Late	Enter the number of days after the promise date you can receive an item without warning or rejection. For example, if you enter 2 and the promise date is a Monday, you can receive the item on Wednesday.
Enforce Ship-to Location	Select an option to control whether the supplier can deliver to a location that differs from the ship-to location defined on the purchase order: None: No ship-to location enforced. Reject: Prevent receipt of items not received to their purchase order ship-to location. Warning: Display a warning message if you attempt to receive an item to a location that differs from the purchase order ship-to location, but perform the receipt, anyway.
Receipt Date Action	Indicate action to be performed when the receive date is outside the range defined by Days Early Receipt Allowed or Days Late Receipt Allowed. Choices: None: No receipt date exception enforced. Reject: Reject receipts when the receive date is outside the range defined by Days Early Receipt Allowed or Days Late Receipt Allowed. Warning: Display a warning message if you attempt to receive an item outside the range defined by Days Early Receipt Allowed or Days Late Receipt Allowed, but perform the receipt, anyway.
Receipt Routing	Indicates routing of the items at the time of receipt. Direct: At receipt, deliver an item directly to its location. Inspection: Receive an item first, inspect it, then deliver. Standard: Receive an item first, then deliver without inspection.
Tolerance Percentage	Enter the quantity received tolerance percent, the maximum acceptable over-receipt percentage, used by the Over-Receipt Quantity Control Action attribute. For example, if the tolerance percent is 5, then the acceptable quantity on a receipt transaction is within 5% of the quantity you order on a purchase order line. Any quantity more than 5% over the order quantity is unacceptable.
