Purchase Batch Receiving Entry overview

When you run the ED Entry Processing Ship Notice Report, purchase order information from inbound EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice documents is received electronically. The batch receiving file structure associates each purchase order header and line item with a shipment and package identification.

When you set ASN lines as ready to receive in this function, records are created in Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry. The received quantity on each record is equal to the shipped quantity in the EDI 856 document. You can adjust quantities or adding missing information, such as serial and lot numbers, in Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry.
