Receiving inventory

Each receiving system is configured for a specific warehouse.

If you are a first-time TWL user, we recommend that you study all of the concept topics and step-by-step instructions. If you are a more experienced user, use the concept topics and step-by-step instructions for receiving inventory into the TWL warehouse, or troubleshooting. The receiving instructions are presented in the order in which they typically occur. Most are performed from the RF unit.

Purchase orders, warehouse transfers, and customer returns are created in the system, according to your business needs. The transactions are released from the system to TWL when orders and returns are printed.

The accuracy and consistency of information in the system is controlled based on settings and parameters that your TWL administrator selected during implementation. Those settings enforce receiving policies on the warehouse floor, define the system, and consistently apply the policies from one operator to the next.

When a purchase order is printed, that order is visible on the RF unit, and you can begin receiving inventory. Most warehouse personnel use a normal receiving workflow, but you can use an ASN workflow, or require other variations to the normal workflow. You may be required to make modifications or handle exceptions.

When you are ready, update the system with the receipt information.
