Receipts (IC20.1)

Use Receipts (IC20.1) to directly enter receipt transactions into the Inventory Control application. Transactions are entered in this form by a user-defined document ID. Transactions are released (updated) to the Inventory Control application by document ID using the Release form action. This process lets you review and adjust transactions as many times as necessary before they are updated to inventory.

When transactions are released, stock-on-hand quantities are updated immediately.

This form lets you enter multiple item receipts by item number and receipt quantity. As you enter item receipts, you can enter notations for general ledger and/or override default values for the item's unit of measure, unit cost, and preferred bin. If the item is defined as a catch weight item, enter the quantity for the item's stock unit of measure and secondary unit of measure. To enter and update catch weight information, select the Define form action.

More Information

If items are set up for lot or serial number tracking, this form walks you through required detail forms, IC29.1 (Lots) or IC29.2 (Serials). You must complete item detail forms before you can release a document. Otherwise, a message indicates out of balance. To access item detail forms after the initial transfer, view the document using this form. Then, select the Walkthru form action.

If items are set up for bin tracking, you can receive quantities to multiple bins by entering an asterisk (*) in the Bin field and this form transfers you to IC29.3 (Bins). You can receive to multiple bins for lot or serial number tracked items when this form transfers you to required lot and serial forms.

Before you can enter detail item receipts, you must first enter the company, location, document ID, received date/time, and general ledger posting date. Date/time fields default to the system date unless otherwise specified. The general ledger posting date indicates to which general ledger period to post transactions. You can post transactions to any general ledger period as long as the general ledger period is open and the general ledger posting date is within 35 days (before or after) of the current inventory period date defined in IC01.2 (Period End Dates). If the general ledger posting date is later than the current general ledger period, transactions remain on the general ledger file until the appropriate general ledger period becomes current. Transactions are passed to the General Ledger application by running IC130 (General Ledger Interface).

Note: Use IC20.2 (Detail Receipts) if you want to override normal general ledger credit accounts for item receipts directly or by reason code. You can also use IC20.2 (Detail Receipts) to enter additional comments about the item receipt or specify an activity for tracking in . For catch weight items, IC20.2 calculates the difference between the item's stock quantity and average stock quantity. A message displays if this variance percentage exceeds the item's variance tolerance.
