Arrival Reporting of Purchase Orders

During arrival reporting, you must enter the batch number for parts with traceability. When you select the Arrival quantity field for an order row, a box will open called "Report In", in which you should enter the quantity. After entering the quantity and tabbing to the next field, another field will open where you should enter the supplier's batch number. The default also includes a suggested new location for this delivery, since it is being placed in an existing stock location with a balance, so the existing batch number is overwritten with the new batch number. Therefore you can only have one batch number per location. If there is a stock location with a zero balance, the systems will suggest that you place the arrival at that location, unless you in the Settings procedure, under the Inventory tab have configured the setting that a new stock location should be suggested for each arrival reporting. In this case, a new location is always suggested, with a location name in the form of a consecutive number.

During Arrival Reporting if you have selected the alternative Arrival report all rows then the All column (the row marked green) is not configured for the order rows that contain parts with traceability, since you must enter their batch numbers in the stock location box.

If a receiving inspection should be performed for an order row, you should enter the batch number in the same way, but in the Receiving Inspection Reporting procedure instead.

If the arrival takes place using the Unplanned Stock Movement procedure, then you can also enter the batch number there, but in that case there will be no link to the order number or supplier.
