Warehouse/Store Receiving Settings

Use this routine to create and maintain a receiving calendar for each of the locations where you receive purchase orders. For each day of the week, and optionally for specific dates, you use this screen to indicate when merchandise PO receiving is active or inactive at this location.

If the date of receipt, regardless of whether it was determined via the ATP web service or the standard hierarchy, falls on a day in which receiving is not scheduled (based on this receiving calendar), the next day that receiving is scheduled to occur is used as the date of receipt.

Important! The settings on this calendar do not actually prevent purchase orders from being received on specific days or dates that you indicate are "closed" to receiving. These settings are used when calculating the projected receipt date of merchandise for the purpose of providing a default scheduled delivery date on purchase orders.

Indicate the warehouse/store location code for which you are creating/maintaining a receiving calendar. If you click the Arrow button you access the Read-Only Lookup Window, where you can select a location from the list of existing locations.

Days to Receive

Check the box next to each of the fields labeled with the days of the week to indicate that this warehouse location receives purchase orders on that day of the week. If you leave a box blank, you indicate that this warehouse does not receive purchase orders on that day of the week. When you create a new warehouse location (via Warehouse/Store Location Settings), all seven of these check boxes are checked by default. You can then access the warehouses that do not receive PO's on all days and change the settings.

Exception Dates

Use the following settings to override the Days to Receive settings on specific dates. You can indicate that receiving is active or inactive on specific dates. For example, you check the Days to Receive box for Monday, indicating that you normally receive PO's on Mondays. However, the warehouse is scheduled to close for Memorial Day on May 26. Use the Date field to select May 26 and un-check the box at Receive to indicate that receiving is inactive for that specific date.

Click the calendar icon and select the specific date for which you are entering an exception to the day of the week setting in Days to Receive. For example, if you normally do not receive PO's on Wednesdays, but are opening the warehouse to receiving for July 6, un-check the Wednesday check box (above) and select July 6 at this field. Next, check the box at the Receive field (below) to indicate that this warehouse is open for receiving on July 6 only. Alternately, if you normally receive PO's on Wednesdays, you can specify a date here and leave the Receive check box blank to indicate that the specified date is not open for receiving at this location. The date you indicate at this field cannot be a past date and cannot already be listed in the grid.

This field is active only when you select a Date (above). Check the box to indicate that this location receives PO's on the specified date, or leave the box blank to indicate that receiving does not take place on this date. Once you indicate the receiving status at this field, click the Add button to update the grid.

Receiving exceptions you added for this location are listed in the grid. Each line displays the following.

Date, Receive - The dates and receiving status for each are displayed for all exceptions in the grid.
Remove - You cannot edit lines once they are added to the grid. Use the Remove button to delete a line.
