Processing overview

With a TWL Receiving-Only setup, you can create purchase orders, warehouse transfers, and customer return merchandise orders in the system according to normal procedures. When you print the document, TWL is notified that inbound inventory is forthcoming. In TWL, the system document number is prefixed with P, W, or O and is referred to as a receipt transaction (RT). All products are received by TWL as nonstock products because TWL does not validate items for Receiving-Only warehouses.

When you finish receiving items and close the RT, the data is sent to the system for processing with the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report. If a transaction occurs that is not supported by this functionality, then an open record remains in WL Transaction Inquiry. You must resolve the open record before going live on the entire TWL system.

Product Warehouse Product Setup inventory quantities are increased when the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report is run, and other relevant records are updated accordingly. Then, you can use the standard system functions to perform order processing and inventory control tasks.
