Mobile Receiving Options
Receiving Substitutes
Operators can use the mobile device to receive substitutes if Allow Substitutes is enabled on the shipment line, and substitutes are defined for the item.

Receive Expense Items
Operators can use the mobile device to receive expense items, but the expense items cannot be traced in the warehouse after receipt.

Receive Vendor Item
Operators can use the mobile device to receive vendor items by the vendor item number. However, vendor items are traced through the original item number in the warehouse.

Receive by GTIN Number
Operators can use the mobile device to receive numbers by GTIN number instead of the internal item number.

Enable Shortage Notification Messages
The system can generate shortage notifications after receipt when material shortage is enabled
for items and a backordered sales order or WIP job exists.

Unavailable Mobile Receiving Options
Warehouse Management does not support the following receiving options:
Blind receipts- Warehouse management does not support blind receipts.

Receipts without a document or item- Operators cannot use the mobile device to receiving material if they do not have the document information or the item information.

Unordered receipts- Operators cannot use the mobile device to receive unordered material in to the warehouse.

Receipt Corrections- Operators cannot use the mobile device to make receipt corrections.

LPN Receipts

Receiving LPNs Using a Mobile Device
Using the mobile device for receipts helps operators to track material in the warehouse.
Operators can reuse defined but not in use LPNs, and nest an LPN for a normal receipt.
The system requires LPNs for receipts except in the following cases:

• Expense items
• Direct receipts

Desktop Receiving
Operators cannot use the desktop application to receive LPNs. The system receives the material as loose, and does not retain the nesting information for ASNs, internal requisitions, inter-organization transfers, and in-transit receipts

Lot and Serial Receiving
Operators can use a configurable hot key on the mobile device to dynamically generate LPN, lot, or serial numbers. The default key is ctrl-g. Warehouse Management generates a number according to the sequencing rules set up for the business object. Operators can map the hot key to any available button on the mobile device. As an implementer, you can also set up multiple configurations in the same warehouse depending on the device type, or the job function.

Upon receipt of lot or serialized material, the system prompts the operator to enter a material status code for the lot, serial number or user-defined attributes for the lot or serial number. The operator can accept the default values or modify them if necessary. This page does not appear if the inbound material is not lot or serial controlled, is not material status enabled, or has no attributes defined.
