  • Serial Scan. - Used to scan the serial number to remove a product picked using that serial number. The bar code validation source is SIM serial.

    • Item
    • Serial - The bar code validation source is an external source. Users must configure the validation service.

  By default, bar code types are provided for the Default organization. When you set up a new enterprise, you must create these bar code types again or copy it from the Default organization. For more information, see Configuring bar codes.
• Shipment modification rules

  Enable the shipment modification rules for purchase and transfer orders in Applications Manager (Logistics management > Document specific (Shipping) > PO/TO > Shipping modification groups > Modification rules > Others > Shipment ).

• Pipelines
  • Configure both the PO and TO receipt pipelines such that a receipt can be moved directly from "Receipt Started" to "Receipt Closed" status. Connect the "Start Receipt" transaction directly to "Receipt Complete" transaction as shown in the following image.
    
  • The PO and TO shipment pipelines must have a receipt closed status.

  For more information about creating pipelines, see Creating a pipeline.

• Configure a receiving discrepancy reason SHORT of Under Receipt discrepancy type. For more information, see Defining receiving discrepancy reasons.
• Configure the Over Receipt Percentage appropriately. For more information, see Creating a receipt preference.
  Note: Currently, receipt for unexpected items is not supported. Only the products that are sent in ASN can be additionally received.

Sterling Business Center

• Receiving reasons

  To receive the complete shipment at once, configure the receiving reasons appropriately. For more information, see Receiving reasons.

• Disposition codes
  • Configure the appropriate disposition codes to receive inbound shipments from a vendor (purchase orders) and from another store (transfer orders). For more information, see Manage disposition codes.
  • To record the condition of the cartons in a shipment, configure the default disposition rules appropriately. These disposition codes are used as inventory status while receiving inventory. For more information, see Configuring default disposition rules.
  • The disposition code that is configured must be exactly the same as the configured inventory statuses. When an inventory is received, the status is either the same as the default disposition code or in the case of damaged, same as the disposition code chosen by the store associate in the UI.

    Inventory statuses must be configured using the Map inventory statuses to the "type" field in Inventory Visibility API. If disposition code is not configured as an inventory status, when inventory is received, the supply type of that inventory in Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility will not be correct as it is taken as the disposition code itself.

  Note: The Product Class that is selected for a disposition code is ignored and that on the Shipment Line is used while receiving inventory. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not select the Product Class while configuring the disposition codes. Similarly, do not select the Final Disposition option as it is also ignored while receiving inventory.

Store Inventory Management APIs

locations API: Configure locations by using the locations API with the locationId as DOCK-LOCATION. This will be the receiving location. This is not required if the store is configured to be single location.
