Receiving Tracked Inventory (Lots & Serials)

Use a confirmed or partly received PO. Check product flags for batch, serial and perishable tracking and select the receiving warehouse/bin.

1. 1
   Open a confirmed or partly received purchase order, select Receive Order, and choose the warehouse and bin.
2. 2
   Enter the quantity you actually counted. Add the lot number when needed, an expiration date for perishables, and one unique serial number for each serialized unit.
3. 3
   Use Check serials when shown, and correct any duplicate number before selecting Receive stock.
4. 4
   Check that any location splits add up to the line quantity, then confirm the receipt.
5. 5
   Open the receipt and check the lot, serials, and location.
6. 6
   Open the receipt and search one newly accepted serial or lot to confirm its location.

A tracked receipt establishes the chain of custody. The identity recorded now is the one later offered to pickers.

The receipt updates stock, lot balances and serial locations together. Duplicate serials, wrong warehouse bins or over-receipt are rejected.

WARNING: Check package labels against the entered lot and serials before confirming; correcting a posted receipt requires a separate supported inventory/accounting action.

Check the outstanding order quantity, lot label, expiration date, serial uniqueness, and selected bin.

If a label is unreadable, isolate the unit and obtain a verified identity rather than guessing.

Compare the received quantity and value with the purchase order before posting the supplier bill. Receipt and billing are separate steps.
