Design Overview
When stock orders are received, if a carton number or barcode cannot be read due to damage to the box or other factors, a dummy ID is assigned to it and its detail received at the store or warehouse. The dummy ID and the details of the carton received are then written to a staging table during the receiving process. This batch process scans stock orders to find transfers or allocations that contain cartons that were not received to see if any shipments contain un-received cartons that match the dummy carton receipt (both item and quantity). If a match is found, then the dummy carton is received against the matching carton. If a match is not found, an error is written to an error file and the record remains on the staging table. These unprocessed records are eventually purged from the staging table when the receipt transaction date is older than the current date minus Close Open Shipments After.
