Bulk receiving is available only in the Enterprise Version of Bookmine.

In the Enterprise Version of Bookmine purchase orders can be bulk received against. Once the goods are physically received and counted the operator can bulk receive them into the system.

Note: In multi-Location configurations of Bookmine transfers between locations are received into the system using this method. See Transferring Stock between locations.

To bulk receive display the Purchase order to be received against in the Purchase Order Details screen. Invoke the "Batch Receive PO command (available only in Enterprise version). The PO is displayed with the quantities to be received set equal to the quantities still due. These can be overridden to match the actual quantities being received. Note: PO can be batch received against in stages if required. Each time the interface opens Bookmine seed the quantities to be received field with the quantity still due.

When the quantities in the "To Be Received" fields are in agreement with the physical quantities actually counted, invoke the Process Batch Receiving command. The Receiving Options screen is displayed - set options as required. After proceeding the goods are received into Bookmine in batch mode.

Barcode labels are queued or printed directly where appropriate, and special orders are allocated. Allocated items will be placed on hold by default.

Partial receiving in batch mode can be achieved by selectively overriding the seeded quantities to be received to match the partial delivery of stock. At any time later when more stock is received the batch process can be called again. This can be repeated as many times as is required.

Modifying quantities received can be achieved by entering the new value to be received. If 10 of an item has already been received entering -3 will reduce the delivery by 3. Note the original receiving record is not modified - a correcting neagative delivery record is raised to correct the mistake.

You cannot over-deliver against an item in Batch Receiving mode. If you do wish to over-deliver call up the purchase order in the standard interface and proceed as you would for any delivery. A better solution, that preserves the audit trail, would be to raise another Transfer Request to the supplying location, lock it and have them dispatch it. You can then process receiving against it.
