Receiving methods

You can receive products using radio frequency (RF) devices or the workstation.

RF receiving

You can use an RF device to receive items against an ASN or Purchase Order (validated), or without an ASN or Purchase Order (invalidated) as the items arrive at the warehouse.

You can receive a product using an alternate item code created during item configuration.

Workstation receiving

You can use a workstation to receive items against an existing or new ASN. If you specify a PO number into the ASN record that is being updated, the application updates the associated PO with the receipt information. If no PO is specified during the ASN update, the receipt is invalidated.

The main distinction of workstation receiving is that you can specify the information into the ASN/Receipt on the workstation after the item arrives in the facility. The resulting document is known as a warehouse receipt.
