After a retail product has been ordered, it must be received in order to be placed in your inventory. Receiving applies to items being transferred, items requested with a purchase order, and "blind" items, which are not requested at all.
-
Perform a New Receive from a Purchase - means to check it into inventory by acknowledging the number of items received, and, if applicable, entering the corresponding serial number(s) and cost. You can receive the exact amount of items ordered, or fewer, or more.
-
Complete an Open Receive - means to finalize the check-in process for items whose receive has not been completed.
-
Perform a New Receive from a Transfer - means to check an item into inventory that is coming from another location, such as a different store.
-
Perform a Receive Search - means to search the system for all receives, included those that are completed. You can search on various parameters or combination of parameters including Location, Entered By (user), Receive Status, Receive Type, Source Location, Receive Reason, and Distributor.
-
Perform a New Blind Receive - means to check items into inventory that have no corresponding purchase order nor transfer. (These can be extra items or items may that have been delivered by mistake.)
