Use the Find Corrections window to find source documents for which you can enter corrections. Use the Supplier and Internal tabbed region to search for Purchasing documents. If Order Management is installed, use the Customer tabbed region to search for customer return material authorizations (RMAs).
Note: You can also make corrections to quantities that you return to a supplier. For instructions, see: Corrections.
To find Supplier and Internal source documents for corrections:
Navigate to the Find Corrections window by selecting Corrections from the menu. The following steps describe ways in which you can specify search criteria to limit the search for source documents. All of the search criteria are optional.
Select the Supplier and Internal tabbed region.
Select the Operating Unit for this search.
Select the receipt Source Type for the search:
Internal: An internal order generated from an internal requisition and sourced from your inventory, or an intransit inventory shipment. If you choose this option, the following fields are disabled: PO Number, Release, Line, Shipment, and Include Closed POs.
Supplier: A purchase order sourced from a supplier. If you choose this option, the following fields are disabled: Requisition Number, requisition Line number, and Shipment Number.
All: Internal- and supplier-sourced documents.
Specify any of the following, optional search criteria:
Enter the Receipt Number.
For source type Supplier, enter the Purchase Order number. To be available, a purchase order must have at least one approved shipment for which the ship-to organization is the same as the current active organization. If you enter a PO Number, you can also enter a Release number, Line number, and/or Shipment number for the purchase order. The Release field is applicable only when you have entered a purchase order number associated with a planned purchase order or a blanket purchase agreement. The list of values in the Release field includes all releases for the specified PO that are not final closed.
For source type Internal, enter the Requisition Number. If you enter a requisition number, you can also enter a Line number. Available lines are those with the same ship-to organization as the current active organization.
In the second Shipment field, enter the shipment number of the Advance Shipment Notice (ASN). See: Advanced Shipment Notices (ASNs).
Enter the Supplier. For Source Type Internal, this is the organization. For Source Type Supplier, this is the supplier name, and you can also enter the Supplier Site.
Enter the Current Location.
Use the lower tabbed regions to further restrict the search. See: To further restrict the search, below.
Select the Find button to initiate the search and display the selected source documents in the Receiving Corrections window.
To find Customer returns for corrections:
Select the Customer tabbed region in the Find Corrections window.
This region is used for finding items that a customer has returned to your company. When a sales representative creates a sales order in Order Management and ships the item to the customer, you can find and create receipts and corrections if the customer returns the item. The receipt is created against a return material authorization (RMA) document, which the sales representative uses to authorize the return.
Specify any of the following, optional search criteria:
Line type, such as Return with Receipt of Goods, on the RMA. There are different return line types. Search by RMA line type if you want to see all RMA lines with that line type in your receiving organization.
Receipt Number
RMA Number, which corresponds to the Order Number field on the sales order
Line number from the RMA
Customer returning the item
Customer Number
Customer Item Number that the customer used to order the item
The lower tabbed regions. See: To further restrict the search, below.
Select the Find button to initiate the search and display the selected source documents in the Receiving Corrections window.
To further restrict the search:
Specify any of the following, optional search criteria:
In the Item region, you can enter the following search criteria: Item number, Revision number, Category, item Description, and Supplier Item number. Since the supplier item number is generally the best way you can identify purchase order lines when your supplier does not reference your purchase order number on its shipping documents, you should provide a supplier item number on your purchase order lines.
In the Receipt Details region, you can restrict the search by Packing Slip number, Receiver, Freight Carrier, or Bill of Lading.
In the Transaction Detail region, you can enter a Transaction Date range.
In the Shipment region, you can enter the Container, Truck Number, or Bar Code Label indicated on an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN). See: Advance Shipment Notices (ASNs).
In the Destination region, you can select the Requestor, Project, Kanban Card, Task, Deliver-to location, or Job. Using these fields will limit your search results at the distribution level of the order.
To remove existing search criteria:
Select the Clear button in any of the source document search windows to remove existing search criteria.
