Receipt of Goods
Receipt of goods is enabled via the configuration parameter PO Notify Receiver notifications allowed , and the feature is available during dispatching.
If there are no receipts available for matching during manual matching task handling, then the user can choose to click on the Notify Receiver button to send a Pending Receipt of Goods notification to the default PO Notify Receiver.
The Notify Receiver opens the notification in Task Details, and decide which PO lines need receipts in Oracle. Once the goods have been received, the notify receiver has two options:
- Click the Goods Received checkbox in Task Details, and submit the invoice. This sends a Match Goods Received notification to the PO Match User, informing them that the manual match can be completed.
- Perform manual matching themselves, use the match results, and submit the invoice. The invoice workflow continues according to standard procedures as if the original matching task had been completed.
The Receipt of Goods feature is available only for the whole invoice, and only during dispatching. If a GE invoice is split or sent for approval and determined to be a PO invoice instead, a PO number must be applied manually and the invoice re-sent for automatic matching using the Automatic Match button in Task Details. Once the invoice is returned for manual matching, the Receipt of Goods feature is available to use again.
PO Invoices with GE lines requiring approval should be handled for Receipt of Goods first, and then the GE lines can be coded and sent for approval.
Configuration
The PO Notify Receiver is configured by two configuration parameters:
- The configuration parameter Default user for PO Notify Receiver defines the user who receives Receipt of Goods notifications from PO Match User during manual match of invoices to purchase orders.
- The configuration parameter PO Notify Receiver notifications allowed must be enabled to allow PO Notifiy Receiver notifications during manual match of invoices to purchase orders.
