Receiving a Commodity Manifest
You can create a commodity manifest to process multiple purchases of a commodity item as a single receipt. The information on a commodity manifest is also used to generate lines on purchase documents.
You must enter one or more destination bins on a commodity manifest. When the manifest is posted, the received quantity of the commodity item will be put away into the specified storage bins.
In the Search box, enter Commodity Manifests, and then choose the related link.
On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.
In the No. field, you can press the Enter key to select the next available number.
Fill in the Location Code field.
Fill in the other fields on the header.
On the Lines FastTab, in the Vendor No. field on the first line, select the vendor from which you received the commodity item.
In the Manifest Quantity field, enter the quantity of the item that you purchased from the vendor.
Repeat steps 6-7 for each purchase you want to add to the commodity manifest.
On the Destination Bins FastTab, enter the bins into which the commodity item should be put away, as well as the quantity that will be put away in each bin. The sum of the quantities that have been assigned to destination bins must equal the total received quantity on the commodity manifest.
Post the commodity manifest.
When you post a commodity manifest, the program will automatically create new purchase lines based on the manifest lines. The manner in which a purchase line is assigned to a document is determined by the related vendor's setup. Purchase lines that are created from commodity manifests are automatically received as part of the posting process.
Creating and posting purchase lines with a commodity manifest only posts receipts. Orders must still be invoiced, either directly from the source documents or by posting a commodity purchase order.
