Tracking number

The tracking number is specified at the time of receipt or generated by Infor Receiving and Delivery.

When receiving to a container:

  • Customers use labels pre-printed with unique tracking numbers.

  • The pre-printed label is affixed to a container.

  • For each item received and placed into the container, the user scans or specifies the tracking number from the label affixed to the container.

  • All items received into a container are to be delivered to the same location.

When receiving with no container:

  • Customers do not use pre-printed labels.

  • When specifying receipt on a handheld, the user leaves the Tracking Number field blank.

  • The user specifies receipts and transmits data back to the RAD server.

  • After a receipt is successfully released and printed from the FSM or Infor Lawson Purchase Order Receipt, data is sent from the Procurement server to the RAD server. Infor Receiving and Delivery assigns one tracking number per receipt, per delivery location.

The Tracking Number field is not available under these conditions:

  • The tracking number is not displayed and therefore not required, based on the handheld Receiving configuration.

  • The PO line contains multiple requisitions (multiple source records). The tracking number field is disabled, regardless of the handheld Receiving configuration, because FSM or Infor Lawson must allocate the receipt to multiple requisitions. You can tap the field to view a message as to why the field is disabled.
