Estimated reading: 4 minutes 469 views

The Inbound Logistics tab allows users to add the product to the inventory. We need to create a Logistic record for the Purchase Orders whose type should be ‘Inbound’.

1. Creation of Logistics record for a Purchase Order

If we check the ‘Ready the Receive’ checkbox while creating the Purchase Orders on the ‘Create Purchase Orders’ page and click on Save, the system will create the Purchase Order and its Logistic record.

Or

If we create a Purchase Order from the Create Purchase Order tab without checking the ‘Ready to Receive’ checkbox, the system will create the Purchase Order, but we need to navigate to the Purchase Order record level and need to check the ‘Ready to Receive’ checkbox manually to create the Logistic record. Follow the below steps to create the Logistic record manually –

  • Find the Purchase Orders tab from the App Launcher.

  • Once in the Purchase Orders tab, you can view the Purchase Orders information already filled in.

  • Find the Purchase Order and open it, check the ‘Ready to Receive’ checkbox, and ‘Save’ the Purchase Order record. The system will create the Logistic record.

After uploading, users can find this document in the ‘logistic’ record level in the related list section of ‘notes and Attachments’.

Figure 5: Before Receiving the Products

  • Users can see the Normal products at the top, Batch products in the middle, and, Serialized products at the bottom of the page.
  • Check the checkbox or Scan the Barcode of the Product to select the Purchase Order Line items.

  • If the Product is a Lot Tracked product, then you can Create a new Batch or you can Scan or Select the available directly. Click on the Gear icon to create a new Batch from the Receive section.

  • If the Product is a serialized product, then you can Select each inventory for that product or Scan the barcode of the Product. If you Scan the barcode of that product, the system will automatically select each inventory record.
  • Once you select each inventory for that product, you can enter the Serial numbers directly or scan new Serial Numbers for that product one by one.
  • Once you select the line items and select Batch/Serial Numbers, you need to enter the Quantity that you want to receive in the provided Quantity input field. By default, the total quantity will be auto-selected, if you want to receive the quantity partially, you can enter the partial quantity and will be able to receive the items partially.

  • Also, the user can Scan or Select the barcode of the Location if it’s stored at a particular location in the selected warehouse.

In the same way, the user can Scan or Select the barcode of the Bin.

  • Once everything is selected, you need to click on the Save button.
  • If you are receiving the items partially, the system will display the received items in the below section of the page.

  • Once you receive all the items, the system will display a message that All Items Received, and all received items will display at the Received Line Items.
