The express function is a quick method of entering receipts and receiving transactions. This function is available in the Receipts window if you have specified or inferred a source in the Find Expected Receipts window. (The source would be inferred if you entered, for example, a purchase order number.) In the Receiving Transactions window, the express function is available for deliveries regardless of your search criteria in the Find Receiving Transactions window. Performing any manual action in a line disables the Express button, and it is not enabled until you have again selected the Find button.
When you select the Express button in the Receipts window, Purchasing displays the Express Details window in which you must enter the destination: Final Destination or Receiving location. Note that this action is dependent on the profile RCV: Allow Routing Override. When you select the OK button in the Express Details window, all lines are selected and the Express button changes to Unexpress. When you select the Express button in the Receiving Transactions window, all lines are selected and the Express button changes to Unexpress. In either case, you can select the Unexpress button to return to manual mode. Otherwise, you can deselect lines to omit them from express processing and then save your work to initiate express processing.
You cannot perform data collection using Oracle Quality when you select the Express button in the Receiving Transactions window. See: Receiving Transactions.
Express receiving does not support entering Descriptive Flexfield segment values.
The express processor performs validation and rejects lines based on the following criteria:
the item revision/subinventory/locator is required and not obtainable as a default from the item definition and the destination is Final
the early/late receipt date tolerance is exceeded and the exception control is Reject
lot/serial information is required
ship-to location is not available and the destination is Receiving
location is not available for Expense destination type and the destination is Final Destination
purchase order supplier and receipt header supplier do not match
other receipts are pending for the specified shipment
When validation processing is complete, Purchasing displays a dialog telling you how many lines passed validation and how many failed and are still available to receive manually.
