  1. Access Receipts (IC20.1).
  2. Define header information.
  3. Specify items.
  4. Specify quantity for each item.
    Note: Drill Around on the item to determine the valid unit of measures.
  5. If your company requires item unit of measure on transactions, specify item unit of measure.
  6. To override the unit cost, specify a new unit cost.
  7. If the item is tracked by bin, specify the bin number.
  8. Select the Add form action.
  9. If you receive any items that are detail tracked, you are prompted to complete a Walk Thru. If an item is tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or UDI, you are transferred to Lots (IC29.1), Serials (IC29.2), Bins (IC29.3), or UDI (IC29.5).

    You cannot view or make changes to the receipt on Receipts (IC20.1) after you release the document. Use Transaction History (IC50.1) to view the document then use Adjustments (IC24.1) to create an adjustment to change stock-on-hand.

    Note: Stock-on-hand is increased when you release the receipt.
