Goods Receipt

With the Goods Receipt module, you receive deliveries against purchase orders, check the items by scan and post the received quantities directly into Business Central.

Prerequisite: Module Goods Receipt enabled (Setup / Terminal). The badge on the tile shows the number of open purchase orders.

Workflow

  1. Select purchase order – open the list of released purchase orders and select the purchase order to be received (or scan the purchase order document).
  2. Scan items – capture each incoming item by barcode. Recognized are:
  3. GTIN/EAN (barcode on the goods),
  4. item number,
  5. item reference/vendor item number.
  6. Post quantity – the app assigns the scan to the matching purchase order line and posts the received quantity. Repeated scans increase the quantity.
  7. Complete purchase order – once all positions are captured, post the purchase order as received.

Check quantities

The app shows ordered and received per position. If the delivered quantity differs, correct the quantity before completion.

Document Photos (optional)

If the Photo module is active, you can photograph documents or damage directly in Goods Receipt and attach them to the purchase order – e.g. a damaged pallet during receipt. See More Tools.

Putaway Afterwards

After goods receipt, the items can be assigned to a bin via the Putaway module. The "Putaway" badge shows open putaways for the terminal's location.

Common Cases

Situation Procedure
Barcode unknown Maintain item reference/vendor number on the item in BC; alternatively scan the item number
