The following three routines are available for receiving goods:
- Work with receptions
- Receive replenishment line
- Work with purchase order reception
Depending on your needs, you can choose one or the other or utilize all. All routines support the update and validation from an external client, e.g., Iptor WM1, but the Work with receptions routine should be used if you plan on implementing Iptor WM1 in one of your main warehouses since any erroneous transactions sent from Iptor WM1 are saved. If an Iptor WM1 transaction ends up on error, you would use this routine to view and manually correct the erroneous transaction.
Note: If DC1 Financials is installed, purchase orders, after reception, can be matched against the A/P invoice. In addition, variations in quantity, price and currency can be accounted.
Barcode scanning
If the barcode scanning functionality has been set up in the system and you plan on scanning barcoded labels when performing a reception to stock, this can be done using any of the following routines:
- Work with receptions
- Work with batch receive and pick
The content of the barcode is automatically converted and updated in the system, and if all information is correct, the reception is automatically confirmed. See Scan barcoded labels during reception to stock for instructions.
Batch ID creation
When reception is reported for batch controlled items the batch ID can be generated from a batch mask. The batch mask is defined in the Item file, Inventory information panel and it can consist of variables or a combination of variables and fixed constants (text). The batch mask may, for example, include variables such as the purchase order number or transaction date/week.
Serialized tracking for batch controlled items
When reception is reported for batch controlled items you will be required to enter (or scan) a unique serialized tracking ID per stock unit if the SERTRACK (Serialized tracking) function is activated in Work with function controls and the batch controlled item is flagged for serialized tracking.
Via the Work with receptions routine
- Select the Work with receptions menu item.
- You access Work with receptions, Reception view. The warehouse defined for your user profile is defaulted if defined there. If a warehouse is not defined for your user profile, then the main warehouse from the DIS control file is defaulted. You can change to another warehouse by clicking the Select warehouse function key. All non-confirmed and partially confirmed receptions can be displayed. Highlight the applicable reception note and then right-click and select the applicable option.
Note: If the REC-HAND (Reception handler) function is activated in the Function control file you will be prompted with a Purchase reception window, after performing any confirmation, where you must enter the user ID of the person working with the reception in the Reception handler field.
- enter/change the received quantity (or click Full reception which will move the suggested quantity to the received quantity).
- select/change the batch.
- create a duplicate reception line if, e.g., you need to receive two different batches and thus need to add a second batch, or when one suggested reception line needs to be received from two different locations instead of the one suggested.
- If the SERTRACK (Serialized tracking) function is activated in Work with function controls, and any batch controlled items are flagged for serialized tracking you will access the Batch entry panel where you must enter unique serialized tracking ID’s per stock unit. If the quantity you are receiving is equal to 1, you do this in the Serialized tracking field on that panel. If the quantity for the item is greater than 1, you click the Multiple tracking function key to access the Serialized tracking, Entry panel where you enter unique ID’s per stock unit.
- If any of the items are serial number controlled you will access the Serial number entry panel where you enter the serial number information corresponding to the quantity you are receiving and click OK to access the Lines panel.
- If no items on the reception line are serial number controlled you will access the Lines panel to enter/change the backlog code, or perform a partial reception without creating a backlog line, and then confirm the reception.
- enter/change the received quantity (or click Full reception which will move the ordered quantity to the received quantity).
- enter/change the backlog code.
- perform a partial reception (and confirm without creating a backlog line on the purchase order).
- The order is being held by another user.
- The reception lacks information (e.g., a batch item was sent but the batch ID was not supplied).
Option | Description |
---|---|
Lines | If any of the items are a DC1 Warehouse Management controlled item, or batch item or serial number controlled item, you will first access the Details panel where you can:

Catch weight handling |
Close reception | Allows you to confirm and close the reception. When this option is run, it will no longer be possible to change anything for the reception. If at least one reception line has zero for received quantity you will be flagged with a warning when you select this option, allowing you to first maintain the line before confirming. |
Confirm full reception | Allows you to confirm a full reception (for both a goods reception (debit purchase order) and return (credit purchase order) without maintaining the line information (i.e. the suggested quantity (i.e. supplier’s order quantity) will be moved to the received quantity field if zero; else accept the received quantity). |
Display errors | View errors for any transactions sent from an external client, e.g., Iptor WM1.
Examples of errors are: All transactions sent from an external client are stored in the WMS transaction log file. Depending on the type of error, you can manually correct the error in this Work with receptions routine if applicable, or click the Retry option from the WMS transaction log (for the transaction) if the DC1 WMS Interface application is activated. If the error is caused because of a lack of information, the error should ideally be corrected in the external client if possible; else in this Work with receptions routine after communication with the warehouse personnel. |
Re-print rec note | Allows you to re-print a reception note. |
Via the Receive replenishment line routine
This functionality is used for purchase order lines that do not have a printed reception note. Instead of waiting for the entire purchase order to arrive, you can confirm the receipt of a single purchase order line. See Confirm the receipt of a single purchase order line for instructions.
Via the Work with purchase order receptions routine
In this routine you are able to select purchase orders, adjust received quantities and configure pallets before the reception is confirmed. See About working with purchase order reception.
After update
After entering and updating the quantities received the system updates stock, if the order type has Update stock on hand set to YES, in the Purchase order type table. The system also updates the purchase order status to 60, meaning the order is now complete.
Note: If the Purchase order’s terms of delivery indicates that landed costs are required but no costs exist, or the Await cost check field against the costs is set to YES, the order status will be updated to 50. The goods will not be in stock or available for sale. Costs should be checked or added to the order and the order must then be booked into stock. To book the receipts, do as follows:
- Access the Work with purchase orders menu item.
- Click the Item view function key to switch to Item view mode.
- Highlight the applicable purchase order and select the Book receipts option.
Quality control check
If any order lines require a quality control check, (as defined in the Item file), the system updates the order status to 42. This means that the order line is waiting for the quality control note to be printed. See About quality control of incoming goods.
BtB direct delivery
If a confirmed purchase order line belongs to a BtB purchase order, the system updates the corresponding sales order line to the status ready for invoicing.
