Receiving

Design Objectives

The Receiving module is designed to facilitate the recording of material delivery tickets and the optional expensing of those tickets to the appropriate subledger using either the purchase order unit rate, the price from the user maintained material price file, or the amount specified at the time of input.  The Receiving module is primarily used to recognize material costs caused by time delays between the receipt of the materials and the vendor's invoice.

When invoices are entered in the Accounts Payable module for a vendor, the system automatically displays the unmatched receiving transactions for that vendor and requests that the user associate the receivers with the invoice being entered.  Receiving transactions must always be associated with a pre-defined Accounts Payable vendor, and may be associated with a previously posted purchase order.

An invoice may have a different unit price than that of the receiving document.  The system accommodates this disparity by reversing the expense and commitment relief transactions previously generated by the Receiving module when an invoice is posted.  The actual cost and commitment relief transactions are generated from the invoice amounts.
