Record Movement of Goods into Warehouse using Purchase Order

When you receive goods from an external vendor into the warehouse, you can update the purchase order and post the Goods Receipt. You can also receive rental goods and record the movement into the storage location using the Purchase Order option.

You can issue materials directly to the Onsite plant vendors without assigning them to storage bins when there is Cross Dock delivery (Offshore Delivery). This helps you to reduce labor, time, and cost of handling materials.

A purchase order can have multiple line items which contain a list of components/materials (Subcontracting PO). If your vendor provides sub-components and if these sub-components are added in the SAP system, you can view these items here, validate them and post the goods receipt.

To record movement of goods into warehouse using a purchase order:

  1. In the Home screen, tap Good Receiving.
  2. Tap the Reference Document drop-down and select Purchase Order.
  3. In the search screen, do a combo scan or manually enter the details like Purchasing Document Number, Plant number , Vendor, Certificate, and Material Number.
    Note:
    • When the Vendor field is configured as an SSI field in RACE, you can tap the Vendor field and enter the vendor description (any digits) to search for the vendor number.
    • If Yes is selected in the Certificate field, uploading an attachment is mandatory before posting. If No is selected, posting can proceed without requiring an attachment.
    • Tap the Scan (OCR) button next to the field to scan the barcode data. The OCR field type is RACE configurable.
