Creating receipts from open purchase orders

You can create receiving documents from purchase orders transmitted via EDI or from open purchase orders for selected vendors. This method eliminates the need to manually enter purchase order receivings.

Note: The software must be installed to perform EDI processing. For more information, see the Lawson EDI Standard and EDI Professional for Supply Chain Management Installation Guide.
