This activity is used to create a new receiving advice. A receiving advice is sent to the suppliers to facilitate them to confirm the deliveries made to us. There are two types of receiving advice: Arrived Goods and Approved Goods. The receiving advice of type Arrived Goods is used to send the supplier information about the arrived quantity and date. The receiving advice of type Approved Goods is used to send the supplier information about the received and approved quantities, as well as the dates on which the parts arrived and were fully inspected.
The receiving advice header must first be entered, and then the purchase order receipts available on Available Receipts in Receiving Advice must be connected. The receipts available for connecting will be limited by the conditions you set on the receiving advice header. These include dates entered in the Date From and Date Until fields, as well as by the type of receiving advice. (Only receipts in the Received status can be connected to a receiving advice of the type Approved Goods). You can connect receipts from different sites. For internal suppliers, you can only connect receipt lines from one site.
When working with consignment parts, you will be able to see the consumption
date and the price that was valid for the Purchase Order line at the consumption.
If there will be different prices for same consumption date, this will show
as separate lines. If several consumptions are done for same prices and consumption
date, they will be summarized into one line. The grouping is based on the receipt,
consumption date and price (only Price/Curr and Price/Base will be considered).
Prices including tax, discounts or additional cost are not considered in the
grouping.
If a consumption has been unissued this will show as a line with minus quantity
and no price in the Available Receipts tab. When connecting a line related to
unissue and there are also consumption lines connected, these will be shown
as a sum of the quantity consumed minus the unissued qty in the tab Connected
Receipts. Unissued qty will be returned/unconsumed from the latest received
consumption line.
Note that a receipt once connected to a certain type of receiving advice, will not be available for connection to another receiving advice of the same type. You cannot connect any receipts after the receiving advice has been communicated.
