Setting up automatic receipts

Creating automatic receipts into the customer's administrative warehouse requires the following settings in the Terms and Conditions module of the Common package:

Terms and conditions must be linked to an active purchase contract.
The terms and conditions are not expired.

Multiple valid sets of terms and conditions can be present for the selection ranges that the user specifies in the Initiate Automatic Receipts (whinh3223m000) session. Terms and conditions have effective and expiry dates. If terms and conditions overlap, that is, range effective-expiry dates overlap, LN selects the terms and conditions with most recent effective date.

- The value in field Method of Inventory Update is either of the following:
  - Receipts and Consumptions
  - Receipts, Consumptions and Inv. Balance
- The value in field Receiving Process is Automatic (Delivery Moments).
- The Delivery Moments field determines whether creation of automatic receipts is based on purchase orders, demand forecast, or inventory levels. If the value is:
  - Orders and Schedules, creation of receipt records is based on purchase orders.
