Goods Receipt Process Explanation

How the Goods Receipt Process Works

In order to complete a goods receipt, a ‘Pre Advice’ must be created, this can be done either via EDI or manually. This enables the user to create a list of expected products and quantities to be received.  This can be done in advance of the goods arriving at the warehouse.

Once this advice is entered, a unique ‘GRN No.’ is created by the system.  This unique number is then used throughout the remaining process.

The user then uses the ‘Receipt Confirmation’ screen to confirm the actual quantities received.  The stock is automatically held by the system once confirmation has taken place.

The final step, ‘Putaway Confirmation’  releases the stock, enabling it to be ordered or  amended.  The user can also enter check digits here if the warehouse requires it.
