In a large enterprise, you can have a centralized
purchasing department for several sites. Each site receives its own
materials and services. You use the Receiving application to receive
materials and services. You use this application to record materials
and services to the database when they are delivered to a site. You
can also return materials to vendors.
You can perform the following tasks using the Receiving application:
- Add a conversion factor, for example, from case to each, to the
database.
- Add a unit of measure, for example, feet or gallons, to the database.
- Approve the receipt of an item that requires inspection.
- Bookmark a record so that you can view it at a later time.
- Enter asset numbers and other asset data when receiving rotating
items.
- Modify a conversion factor.
- Modify a unit of measure.
- Void receipts for transactions that occurred in error.
- Return items, rotating assets, and services.
- Choose to accept or to return materials or services
that are received in excess of the ordered quantity.
- Run reports.
