Receive Container (Legacy App)

Overview

Skustack helps you track and manage the shipping and receiving process for Purchase Orders (POs) delivered with Shipping Containers. This workflow allows you to stay on top of different parts of the process, from the initial order placement to the arrival of the shipping container at the shipping port and up to the receiving of the purchased items at your warehouse.

You can also use this workflow to group together multiple regular POs just to organize the receiving process. Once you receive orders grouped with the shipping container feature, associated POs are automatically updated with any relevant information, such as received quantities.

Creating and managing the items in a container is only possible through the Skustack Admin, while the receiving process can be handled through the Skustack app.

Receive Container Module

The Receive Container module is located within Skustack’s Receiving tab and allows you to easily receive your products by container. A container can include products from different Purchase Orders.

You can search containers by:

• Search by ContainerID - Opens a specific Container ID. The container can include items from different Purchase Orders.

• Search by PO# - Opens all related containers associated with that PO#.

• Search All - Searches for all containers. You can filter by:

  • Product ID/Container Name - Filters by a specific product or container.

  • Received Filter - Defaults to previewed/working. You can choose from one of the available statuses:

    • All

    • Zero Received

    • Zero Or Partial Received

    • Partial Received

    • Fully Received

3. Scan/enter the ContainerID or PO # depending on the search mode or simply search all.

4. Tap Go.

5. Select your desired container. You can also filter items within the container by their received status. Simply tap the Filter icon and choose your filters.

   1. Bins – Here you can find all the bins where the product is stored.

7. Scan the ProductID/UPC/Serial, or select the item on the screen. The product will open.

8. Scan/enter a bin, or select from the list of suggested bins.

   Enable the Use Receiving Bin setting in Skustack to only allow receiving into a receiving bin. You can then use the PutAway workflow to transfer inventory from the temporary receiving bin to permanent bins on the warehouse shelf.

9. Scan units to add to the received qty or adjust the number manually.

   To receive more units than originally specified in the container's Total Qty, enable the Allow To Over Receive Container Client Setting.

10. If you're not receiving the full quantity in the container, a dialog will open, giving you the option to select which PO you are receiving it for. If you are receiving the full amount, that dialog will not appear.

11. If the Lot Number workflow is enabled for your company and the product is set as expirable then you must select a Lot Number before receiving it. Tap on More Lot/Expirys to view existing or add new lots. Learn more about Lot Numbers here.
