Flow Receipts

The Flow Receipt conversation allows you to select how you wish to record and process flow receipts. 

·     You may record and process flow receipts separately.

·     You may summarize the recording and processing of multiple flow receipts for completed JIT parts.  This option is particularly useful in bar coding environments where many like receipt transactions are processed. 

·     You may choose to process flow receipts immediately.  When the immediate processing option is activated (set to yes), the transactions are posted every 60 seconds and are automatically consolidated.  This improves the speed of flow receipt processing.  Or you may "consolidate" like flow receipt transactions or modifications to pending flow receipt transactions that have not yet been posted.  For example, instead of posting 10 separate receipts for a part, you may make one transaction in which the quantities from all 10 receipts are summed.  The transaction is submitted via an intermediate consolidation process.

Features of flow receipt processing include:

·     You may delay flow receipt processing or select immediate processing.

·     You may enter receipts either in terms of the number of containers or the number of units.

·     You may review all transactions that have not yet been processed.

·     You may modify the received quantities, locations, lot numbers, FIFO dates, and balance types on previous transactions.

·     You may consolidate two or more transactions if they have the same cell (production center), part, revision level, lot number, FIFO date, location, and balance type. 

·     You may process previously entered transactions which have not yet been posted.
