  1. From the RF menu, select Receiving.
  2. Specify or scan the Dock ID and press Enter.
  3. From the Stock Receipt Main Menu, select Receipt Inq/Update.

    If Then
    Vendor is set up for auto receiving, message Auto Rcv ASN? is displayed.

    This message is displayed if these factors exist:

    • System parameter 6264 is set up to allow auto receiving
    • Vendor must be set up for auto receiving
    • WL Auto Receive ASN option in Vendor Setup-Ordering must be selected
    Select Yes to automatically receive the full expected quantities of the ASN. Proceed to specifying lot or serial products.
    You are not auto receiving the ASN. Select the product you are receiving and specify the quantity received. Press Enter.

    Only purchase order lines with an expected quantity are shown in TWL.

  6. If there are lot or serial products on the ASN, this message is displayed: <Lot or Serial> lines exist on the ASN. Use one lot entry per line during Auto Rcv, or skip lot lines and leave ASN open for lot receipt later. Specify an option in response to this question, Skip <Lot or Serial> lines?:
    Option Description
    Yes To skip lot or serial lines.
    No To specify the lot or serial number. For lot items, assign only one lot per detail line. Lot numbers cannot be split between multiple lines.
  7. Optionally, add a note to the receipt, press Ctrl+N, and then perform these steps:
    1. Specify the note in the Note Entry screen.
    2. Press Tab to indicate if the note is required or printed.
    3. Select OK.
  8. When you are finished receiving inventory, on the Line Item Selection screen, press F4 from a blank Item field.
  9. In Close RT?, select one of these options:
    Option Description
    Yes To close the ASN RT. The receiving information updates the system when you run the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report.
    No To keep the RT open. If you are receiving ASN products with serial or lot numbers, then you can assign the serial/lot numbers on the Receiving - Line Detail screen.

    See Modifying a serial receipt and Receiving a lot item.

    If you manually assign lot numbers, you can assign multiple lots to a single line by creating multiple receipts against the line.

If you selected the option to automatically receive ASNs, then you can transfer the goods from the temporary pallet to an actual pallet. The temporary pallet was created for the RT ID from the ASN RT record. Then, you can print labels during the put away process. If you are required to assign a zone, you must assign the zone during put away.
