A standardized receiving process is important to ensure that all materials are correctly received and put away and that receiving documents are handled correctly. If stock receipts are not processed daily, it could contribute to inventory problems including negative on-hand quantities or missing inventory.
The first step in the receiving process is to set up your staging areas. Staging area examples might include areas for special orders, damaged material, or cross docking.
The receiving topics in this section cover how to receive product by individual purchase order using Stock Receipt Entry and the P/O Receiver Report.
