The first question to be answered in the third screen is if you wish to use “Autoscan” Y or N.. The use of “Autoscan” prompts you to scan each item and it defaults the received quantity to 1 unit for each scan and then goes back to the barcode field for the next scan. Alternatively, if “Autoscan” is turned off N you will be prompted for a quantity each time you scan an item. You will have to accept each entry with CTRL followed by A.

If you are using the “Autoscan” mode you can correct the quantity after the item is scanned by pressing Tab or CTRL I. After entering the new quantity press CTRL A at “Any change” to accept the entry.

When not using Autoscan, the cursor will go to the “received” field after the barcode is scanned waiting for a quantity to be entered. The quantity entered will be ADDED to any previous quantity received. A negative quantity received can be used to correct an error.

If the quantity received is excess of the total quantity ordered for that part a message will display Over-receive?(Y/N) Y

If the part scanned is to be cross docked to other branches a message will display near the bottom of the screen “CROSS DOCK” so the user can separate these parts for splitting to the branches during the update.

Pressing CTRL A at the barcode will start the completion process where you will be asked “update now?” where the options are Y or N. When answered with an “N” the user is asked if they wish to print the Edit List.

When starting the update, the next option is to enter the invoice number.

If the PO included parts for cross dock, these parts will be shown with the split quantities for each location. This information is to be used to separate the parts received for the various locations. If the part is not received in full the user will need to allocate the quantity received to the locations based on their needs. The quantity allocated to a branch CANNOT exceed the original quantity ordered. If a branch requires more than has been ordered for them, a manual transfer will need to be created to send the additional amount.
