How Purchase Type Setup Stages Work

This topic describes how Purchase Type setup stages work.

Purchase Type setup stages work with no receipt note processing stages, with receipt note entry only stage, and with receipt note entry and receipt note transfer stages.

With No Receipt Note Processing Stages

Where a Purchase Type does not include a receipt note processing stage, an actual receipt may be specified at the Order Confirmation, Invoice Matching, or Invoice Confirmation stages. That is, by entering a Receipt movement transaction type against the stage. A Transfer movement transaction type cannot be used in this case.

With Receipt Note Entry Only Stage

Where a Purchase Type includes receipt note processing using receipt note entry only, an actual receipt must be specified at the RN Entry stage. That is, by entering a Receipt movement transaction type against the stage.

With Receipt Note Entry and Receipt Note Transfer Stages

Where a Purchase Type includes receipt note processing using receipt note entry and receipt note transfer stages, an actual receipt must be specified at the RN Entry stage. That is, by entering a Receipt movement transaction type against the stage. Also, an actual transfer must be specified at the RN Transfer stage. That is, by entering a Transfer movement transaction type against the stage.

Note: You cannot define transfer movements in any way other than as detailed above. To carry out any other transfers, a movement order must be raised.
