Receiving Log Entry
The Receiving Log Entry program allows you to record the entry of goods into the warehouse. Due to the fact there is usually a delay between when the goods arrive at the warehouse and the time they are actually entered into the system through Receipts Entry. This program records general information about the goods received such as date, carrier, waybill, purchase order, vendor, pack slip, quantity, and unit of measure. This helps keep a more accurate record of goods that have entered the warehouse but not yet identified and entered into Receipts Entry.
The program automatically loads all rece1v1ng log entries and displays them in 132 column format in descending order by date beginning with the most recent entry. Use your cursor keys to move through the list or use lookup to search for specific text. You can enter up to a full screen of notes related to a receiving log line by highlighting the desired line and selecting the Notes option. An asterisk ("') will display in the column marked 'N' (notes) if notes exist.
