2 Receiving
The Receiving functions in Xstore allow you to process a shipment that has arrived, and record actions performed on it. The receiving Xstore options allow you to document merchandise that has been shipped to the store from the home office or distribution center and is accompanied by an advanced shipping notice (ASN) in a Receiving Document.
Although Receiving Documents are usually downloaded from the home office, you can also create a Receiving Document in your store.
A variety of shipment types may be received. They include shipments such as special orders, work orders, orders, vendor shipments, store transfers, and inventory replenishments. After a shipment arrives, you can count items, add comments, change quantities, add cartons, and ultimately, close the receiving document. When the receiving document is closed, inventory is updated.
Each Receiving Document has an identifying number for the entire shipment. Each carton belonging to the shipment also has an identifying number. The Receiving Document and carton numbers usually appear on a label or shipping document affixed to each carton. A detailed list of the items in each carton is also sent.
You can also view and print a Receiving Exception Report. Refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service Reports Guide for more information about this report.
All receiving functions are accessed from the Back Office Menu.
