Arrival overview
Each morning, your warehouse workers need to know what the company expects to receive each day. By accessing the Arrival overview page, your warehouse workers can view the tasks at hand and an estimate of the expected orders for each day. After your warehouse workers receive a delivery at the inbound dock, they can use the Arrival overview page to identify the matching receipt order and register the receipt as In progress. Additionally, they can access the arrival journal and locate the journals that receive a product receipt update.
Arrival overview page
The Arrival overview page provides an overview of expected items to arrive and the expected date of arrival. As part of the arrival process, you can use multiple sets of personal settings.
To open the Arrival overview page, select Inventory management > Inbound orders > Arrival overview. On this page, you can view a list of orders that your company expects to receive. The overview is divided into a header and lines.
The header information is grouped by the order type, expected receipt date, and delivery destination. When you select a header line for arrival, the system selects all detail lines that are related to the receipt reference for arrival in the line details part of the page. After you post all related journal lines, this information doesn't show.
You can define your personal settings on the Arrival overview profiles page.
In the preceding example, the receiving clerk wants to set up a new computer at a location that they want to use for receiving finished goods that come from production at Site 1. On the Arrival overview profiles page, they create a new setup named Site 1 production, and then they specify the following settings:
On the Arrival options FastTab, in the Range field group, enter information about a day interval and the warehouses to include in the overview.
On the Arrival options FastTab, in the Journal field group, enter a receiving warehouse, a location, and a journal name (item arrival/production input).
On the Arrival query details FastTab, in the Site field group, in the Restrict to site field, enter a site to limit the view in the overview area.
On the Arrival query details FastTab, in the Transaction types shown field group, set the Production orders option to Yes.
On the Arrival query details FastTab, in the Miscellaneous group, set the Update on startup option to Yes if the system should automatically update the view at startup.
Set the Update on range change option to Yes if the system should automatically update the view whenever someone changes range values.
For this example, the Arrival overview profile name field on the Arrival options FastTab of the Arrival overview page is set to Site 1 production.
To automatically create arrival journals from the Arrival overview page, you need to define appropriate information in the Journal field group on the Arrival options FastTab:
You must specify a journal name to create a journal.
If you specify values in the Warehouse and Location fields, the system applies those values on the journal lines. If you don't specify values, the system uses the values from the dimension that you specify on the inventory transactions.
