Report Arrival of Handling Unit
Explanation
This activity is used to receive handling units attached to an incoming dispatch advice. This can be performed
on the Incoming Dispatch Advice page and the Handling Units In Incoming
Dispatch Advice page.
Only handling units with structure level 1 (top level) can be recieved. Multiple top-level handling unit lines
can be received connected to a single Incoming Dispatch Advice message ID.
Prerequisites
- A source order should exist to be received (e.g., a shipment order with a delivered shipment or a purchase
order with at least one order line must have been created, released, and/or confirmed).
- To enable serial tracking, both Inventory Serial Tracking and After Delivery Serial
Tracking options must be enabled in Part. Additionally, a serial rule, either
automatic or manual, must be specified.
- If reserved serial numbers are to be used, they must have been reserved on the purchase order line.
- When using the charge/no charge function (Supplying the supplier with material or components needed for
manufacturing or packing the purchase parts), the components must have been fully delivered to the supplier.
- A dispatch advice must have been sent from the sender and must be in status Created or
Changed.
System Effects
The handling unit is received at a picking, arrival or QA location.
The inventory parts are entered as arrived. The receipt line status varies depending on the location:
- Receive into picking location: The receipt line acquires the Received status.
- Receive into arrival location: The receipt line acquires the To be Received status.
- Receive into QA location: The receipt line acquires the To be Inspected status.
For non-inventory registered purchase parts and no-number parts:
- Receive into Arrival: The receipt line acquires the Received status.
- Receive into Arrival, Inspect at Arrival: The receipt line acquires the To be
Inspected status.
When receiving a shipment order that is used to move purchased parts between different arrival and QA locations
i.e. a shipment order line having demand code purchase receipt:
- The shipment order receipt will always go directly to the Received status
- The parts on the shipment order receipt are added back to the connected purchase receipt. If receive into
arrival or QA location the arrival process continues on the purchase receipt.
Note: Based on the option Use Actual Delivery Date for Currency Rates in Arrival
Postings setting on Company/ Supply Chain Information/Procurement/General, users can
consider modifying the Actual Delivery Date on Incoming Dispatch Advice Header/ Lines. This will decide whether to
take the currency rate on arrival date or delivery date for purchasing and inventory transactions.
