Receiving is the process whereby the governmental agency takes physical possession of the goods ordered. Quantities and Service Contract amounts are counted and recorded in the system using documents of the Receiver (RC) Document Type. Completion of this process, triggers acceptance processing and acknowledgement of goods received or services rendered.
Receivers can be processed as Inventory transactions as well as non-inventory transactions. In order to process Inventory transactions using the Receiver document, a reference to a Purchase Order document that has a Warehouse entered on the commodity line is required. Updates are made to the Inventory table in CGI Advantage Inventory Management when the Receiver goes to Final by adjusting the On Hand Quantity and Unit Cost. Please refer to the "Inventory Tables" section in the CGI Advantage Inventory Management User Guide for more information.
Receiver documents can reference all documents of the PO Document Type. Receiver documents cannot be referenced by any document within CGI Advantage. Receiver documents can be modified or canceled.
Based on site specific setup, Receiver documents can be created from the Document Catalog or from the Receiving Search Window (RCSRCH).
