To start receiving, click Receive on an ordered PO. ION creates the receipt as you process the order. For how receipts relate to PO status and inventory, see Overview.
Receive against a purchase order
- Open a purchase order in Ordered status and click Receive.
- For each part, specify the following:
- Serial number, if the part is serial tracked.
- Lot number, if the part is lot tracked.
- Location to put the part away.
- Receive the parts.
As lines are received, the PO status advances automatically to Partially Received while some lines remain, and to Received once all lines are received or canceled.
When one PO ships in three deliveries, we recommend creating three receipts.
When one shipment covers two POs, we recommend creating two receipts.
Receive non-part purchases
You can also receive purchases that have no part, such as services. The flow is the same, except the inventory fields (serial, lot, location) don’t appear, because there’s nothing physical to track. See Purchase types.
