Packing list receiving

A variation to normal receiving workflow occurs if a vendor or supplier ships several purchase orders in one shipment. You can manually select the purchase orders (POs) and assign them to one receipt transaction (RT). This method of receiving is similar to receiving by ASN. In either method, you can combine purchase orders into one receipt, and both methods require you to receive each item individually.

Parameter 6260, Packing List Receipts, provides these options for RF prompts during packing list receiving:

• Disable - Allocate the Receipt to the First PO in the Browse
• Enable - Prompt for PO (Sorted by PO Number)
• Enable - Prompt for PO (Sorted with Open POs First)

If an item exists on several POs in a consolidated packing list, when parameter 6260 is enabled, optionally specify which purchase order to receive against.

You can assign the purchase order to the RT number and print the packing list. Afterwards, you can scan the RT number and use the report as a receiving document.

A line item on a PO can be changed or added in the system. If that PO is assigned to a packing list, then the packing list is automatically changed and released to TWL. It is not necessary to reprint the entire purchase order when it is part of a packing list.

The packing list function does not create backorders for the original RT. To associate backorders with a subsequent packing list, manually create another packing list and include the backorder on it. The backorders were created when the original RT was closed and processed in the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report.
