Truckload Receipts

If a business typically places a large volume of purchase orders on a daily basis, the receiving process may be streamlined so that a single delivery to a company facility represents multiple purchase transactions. In some instances, the company will use its own trucks to ship items to customers, then pick up purchased items from vendor locations as the vehicles return to the warehouse.

The truckload receiving functionality allows companies to process inbound transactions in this manner by giving the user the ability to consolidate multiple orders into a single receiving activity. Receiving information can be specified for both individual purchase documents and the truckload receipt as a whole.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
