Receiving Orders by Scanning Through the App

To receive items from purchase orders, customer returns, or transfer orders, you can scan the item bar code using the app. If you activate the Enable Advanced Barcode Scanning? rule, you can scan specific item bar code types. For more information about rules that affect the receiving process flow, see Receiving Orders. To activate rules, see System Rules for NetSuite WMS. Note which rules apply to PO Receiving only.

Before you start using the app, check your device if it has a setting that enables automatic data entry after a scan. Without this setting, you can tap the button at the footer to proceed to the next page. For more information about scanning options, see Scanning Item Bar Codes.

The following procedure does not include steps and process flows for Tally Scanning.

To receive orders through scanning on the app:

On the confirmation page, you can review the receiving details. If you automatically post receipts, it includes details of the item receipt. You can access the receipt and updated order through the NetSuite UI.

If you receive a partial quantity, you can repeat from step 4 to process additional quantities of the item until you complete the order. If you want to manually post a receipt for a partially or fully received item, see Manually Posting Item Receipts.

On the app, access order receiving by doing the following:
- Tap the menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen, and then tap Main Menu.
- From the Main Menu, tap Receiving.
- On the Receiving menu, depending on the type of transaction you want to process, tap Purchase Order, Transfer Order, or Returns.
The Receiving page for the specific transaction type appears. The field names and options on this page vary depending on the transaction type.
On the Receiving page, do one of the following:

If your item bar code includes the lot number, expiry date, and quantity, you can skip entry of these details in succeeding fields.
If the item has multiple aliases, in the Select Item Alias page, do one of the following:
- If the item bar code includes the item alias, in the Scan/Enter Item Alias field, scan the item.

  Note:
  If you scan a bar code in this field, do not select a lot number from the list to avoid losing the scanned data.
3. Tap Enter Lot Number.
On the Enter Quantity page, do the following:
1. If you use the Inventory Status feature, in the Inventory Status field, select the status of the item.
