How To
How to receive an order in transit (soft receive)
How does the Receive Warehouse function work?
- After an order has been set to status: “On Order” the [Receive warehouse] button is activated.
- Click [Receive Warehouse]
- Set the details as required.
- Confirmation receive date: The date and time the actual confirmation is received.
- Received warehouse date: The date the ordered items were received
- “Required on board” date: This field shows the “required onboard date” form the order form. It is not directly editable in this form
- “Requested onboard” date: This field shows the “Estimated delivery” date, which serves as the “requested delivery” dates for most clients.
- Current set delivery date: This field will display the current set “Delivery date” for the order, this date will often be set when order is confirmed by supplier, or if received by forwarder etc. If not set in the order the tick box “Update “Order delivery date” will be ticked automatically. When ticked and the [OK] button is clicked this will update the delivery date on the order. If a delivery date is set, the tick box will be turned off by default, but ticking it will update the order delivery date when user click [OK]
- Order status: Here users can select between “Received Warehouse” (complete) and “Partly received warehouse”.
- Verification type: Allows users to indicate what type of verification used for the received warehouse claim. It is a code list so each client can specify their own choices in this selector. (IE: “Supplier Documentation”, “Manual count on location” etc.)
- Warehouse address: To allow users to keep track of what warehouse the order has been received at, the warehouse address can be selected (requires the warehouse address to be included in the contacts list)
- External ref no: If the warehouse has a reference number for this delivery it can be stored in this field.
- Warehouse Unit: If the warehouse is defined as a Warehouse Unit in TM Master, it can be selected from this picker (servers basically the same purpose as the Address.
- Documents: If a document or file was received documenting the warehouse receive it can be drag and dropped into this section, and it will be included as a document.
- If the received items were counted or delivered as a documented partly delivery, it is possible to specify what items were received by clicking the “Items” tab.
- Specify the numbers of items received
- Click [OK]
- If not, all items were marked as received the status will be set to “Partly received warehouse”
and the [Receive warehouse] button will remain active, to allow receiving the rest at the warehouse. If order is “Completely received” onboard, the system assumes that everything has been delivered and it will deactivate the “Receive Warehouse” button.
- The “warehouse” receive history is available for review on the lower part of the order head “History” tab. As shown in image below.
