Record the receipt of parts against a purchase order immediately after the shipment arrives on-dock. By recording receipt of materials on-dock, you bypass the need to receive the materials on the Receive goods form (SMRECV). All parts that require inspection must be received on-dock.
Once you record the received materials, record the packing slip order details and active lines of the order. Before completing each step, change the receipt status according to the following values:
U (Unfinished)—All new receipts begin with a status of Unfinished.
R (Packing slip recorded)—All packing slip details are recorded and frozen on the Packing slip page of the On-dock receipt form (SMDOCK).
P (In progress)—Datastream 7i automatically assigns a status of P whenever updates are recorded on the Active lines page of the On-dock receipt form (SMDOCK). The receipt cannot obtain a status of P unless the current status is R (Packing slip recorded).
C (Canceled)—Cancels the receipt. If you cancel a receipt, you cannot apply any information to the receipt record and Datastream 7i deletes all packing slip lines and on-dock receipt lines. You can only cancel a receipt if the current status is U (Unfinished).
A (Approved)—All on-dock receipt lines are approved and processed. Datastream 7i automatically approves a receipt when all on-dock receipt lines have a status of A (Approved).
