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 receipt

• Standard receipt

• Inspection receipt

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 Receipt

A two-step process executed as a single transaction where shipments are received into a receiving location first and then put away in the same transaction. Put away happens automatically upon receipt creation.

Standard Receipt

A two-step process where shipments are received into a receiving location first and then put away in a separate transaction. Standard receipts can be inspected or transferred before put away. For example, goods might be received, but someone may need to decide which location the goods are to be sent. The goods might sit on a dock while waiting to be delivered to a final destination.

Inspection Receipt

A three-step process where shipments are received into a receiving location first, then inspected, and then 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.
