Receipt of Deliveries

The user can select the option in which the delivery can be received. Possible options:

• Receiving the entire delivery based on the known details.
• Receiving each individual pack on the delivery.

When the Supplier labels contain the information required for factory operations, such as inventory pack numbers material details and barcodes, these labels can be used directly during receipt processing. This approach reduces the time and effort required to relabel inventory packs during the receiving process and minimizes label printing and labor related costs.

The method used to receive materials is often influenced by whether the supplier provided labels can be used within the factory. If relabeling is required, inventory packs are often received individually to support validation activities.

When complete information about the delivered packs is available before receipt, the entire inventory can be received in a single action using the predefined inbound pack information. In this scenario, the receiving activity is limited to verifying that the expected number of inventory packs has arrived.

In some cases, additional validation can be required during the processing of a receipt. For example, supplier information such as batch reference numbers must be recorded. To support these validation activities, inventory packs can be received individually from the delivery.

The warehouse operator scans the inventory pack label to identify the package and retrieve the associated delivery information. The supplier information such as package number or batch number can then be scanned and linked to the inventory pack. This process supports accurate recording of supplier information and enables end-to-end supplier traceability.
