  2. To search for a specific package to receive, scan a package number or SSCC number in the Search field or in the Package filter field.
    Note: For distribution orders, the scanned package number is based on the number provided by the supplying warehouse. For purchase orders, it is based on the package information linked to the delivery note in PPS360 (M3 Supplier Delivery Note. Open) as specified by the supplier.
  3. Select Next to run the search.

    If you are searching using search field, the transaction will search for them according to the sequence specified by the Search field search sequence parameter. Search results will be limited by any filter fields that contain data, and those fields will be excluded from the search sequence used for the Search field. For example, if your search sequence is set up to search first for suppliers, then items, and then order numbers, and you specify value A in the Item filter field, and then scan value B in the Search field, the search will first look for order lines with supplier B and item A. Then it will look for order lines with order number B and item A. It will not look for order lines with an item value of B because you specified A in the Item filter field. If the search finds one or more matches, it will stop the search sequence and list the results. However, if you include both purchase orders and distribution orders in your Order Type field, the search will always look for matches for both order types at each step in the search sequence and will list results for both order types when it finds a match.

    Only order lines containing values that match the specified search criteria will be found. Either an order line is automatically selected from the results and displayed on the Receive Line screen, or the search results are displayed on the Lines screen.

    If you are searching for a specific package, the Receive Package screen is displayed.
