Use the Receipt Header window to enter header information for all types of receipts.
Note: If you are entering a receipt against an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN), the header information may already be entered for you if the supplier sending the ASN provided that information. See: Advanced Shipment Notices (ASNs).
To enter receipt header information:
Navigate to the Receipt Header window. Purchasing opens this window when you select Find or Unordered in the Find Expected Receipts window. You can also get to this window by selecting the Header button in the Receipts window.
Enter the Receipt number. If automatic receipt numbering is enabled, this field is not enterable when you are creating a new receipt. Purchasing displays the receipt number if the shipment has been partially received.
Enter the Receipt date.
Enter the Shipment number.
Enter the Shipped Date.
Enter the Packing Slip number.
Enter the Waybill/Airbill number.
Enter the Freight Carrier. See: Defining Freight Carriers
Note: Only the active freight carriers are displayed.
Enter the Bill of Lading.
Enter the number of Containers.
Enter the Received By person.
Enter the Supplier or Customer. For supplier-sourced shipments, this is the supplier. For inventory-sourced shipments, this is the organization. If the field says Customer, this is the customer returning an item ordered from your company.
Enter Comments.
Navigate to the Receipts window.
Note: You can save the header separately from the lines except for ASN receipts.
To add lines to an existing receipt:
Select the Add To Receipt button to open a list of values showing the receipts to which you can add lines. When you select the receipt to add to, Purchasing displays values from that receipt in the remaining header fields. You can also change the date when the action is Add To Receipt.
