RE.11: In-Transit Receipts

Note that you can click the button (or press F5) to invoke field help at any time from within the job panel itself.

Business Benefits

In a Warehousing operation, the recording of incoming (but not yet arrived) Receipts is a central function. This program provides the ability to record information about Receipts, and also tracks the Locations where the goods are to be stored in the Warehouse.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see RE - Receipt Entry.

Usage

Use this job to keep track of the information related to goods that will be arriving in the Warehouse (i.e., pre-entry of expected shipments).

The type of information recorded here includes any or all of the following:

Receipt header information such as:
- Client,
- Carrier,
- reference numbers,
- date received, etc.

Product detail information such as:
- Product code,
- Lot code,
- Unit IDs,
- Conveyances, etc.

Preconditions

The In-Transit Receipt numbers used in this program are assigned initially in program RE.92 [In-Transit Number Ranges].

The following codes must have all been set up:

CR.06 [Client Names and Addresses]

WP.11 [Warehouses]

CR.62 [Client's Inventory Products]

CR.38 [Carriers]

CR.26 [Customer (Ship-To) Addresses]

WP.44 [Lotting Data Sets]

WP.46 [Lotting Assignments]

SL.90 [Locations]

CR.11 [Conveyances]

CR.10 [Measuring Units]

Note: If Field 38 (Required Pick Information in RE.11) of program WP.95 [Receiving Profiles] is set to Y, fields will appear in program RE.11 for Pick information.

If you have Products with Units IDs and you have used program CR.31 [System-Generated Unit ID Setup] for automatic generation of Unit IDs, you may choose to have the program assign the next ID, rather than enter a Unit ID (in Field 61).

Subsequent Actions

When the goods are actually received, they must be entered/completed in program RE.21 [Receipts] and the audit report printed in program RE.22 [Receipts - Print]. Before being considered complete, Receipts must also be rated in program RE.31 [Receipt Invoices].
