Receiving
Receiving turns a delivery into warehouse stock. It is the moment batches are created, purchase prices recorded, and goods land in the receiving buffer, not yet on their target shelves.
Entry: the purchase order card → the receive action. The screen is titled Goods Receipt.
The line list
Section titled “The line list”Every line shows Ordered, Received, Remaining and a Receiving field for the quantity being received now. The list can be filtered by name, product number, supplier code, manufacturer, categories, tags and price.
When everything has already been received, the module states this.
Batches and expiry dates
Section titled “Batches and expiry dates”Add Batch splits a line into batches. Each has a Quantity, Batch / LOT Number, Expiry Date, Bin location and Purchase price.
Splitting into batches makes sense wherever one delivery arrives with different expiry dates: without it the module has no way to choose which unit to issue first. → Lot removal rules · Batches and expiry dates
Handling
Section titled “Handling”Handling selects Loose or License plate (LP); the latter means goods grouped onto a carrier at receipt. The default comes from the warehouse; in required mode the module states that every line is received onto a carrier.
Helper buttons: Generate LP numbers and Print all LP labels. → Handling units
Location suggestions
Section titled “Location suggestions”Auto-assign slots assigns locations to every batch with a quantity. The module states when there is nothing to assign, or when it cannot find a suitable location, rather than picking an arbitrary one.
What happens to the goods next
Section titled “What happens to the goods next”After the receipt is confirmed, the module asks what to do with the goods now in the buffer:
- Put away now — opens a put-away operation immediately,
- Later — the goods stay in the buffer and are shelved later,
- Already placed — the goods are distributed automatically to the suggested locations.
With the last option the module states how many batches it could not place, which stayed in the buffer for manual put-away. Nothing is dropped without a message.
→ Put-away
Quality control
Section titled “Quality control”If quality control is switched on, goods go to quarantine first and wait for a decision instead of landing in the buffer. → Quality control
Delivery costs
Section titled “Delivery costs”Shipping and other costs are spread across the lines at receipt, raising the batch’s purchase price. How they are split is set on the order. → Invoices and landed costs
