The goods inwards process in this section assumes that you know how to create suppliers and products. If you are not sure please see the links below.
Area | Purpose | Link |
|---|---|---|
Products | How to setup a new product | |
Suppliers | Adding a new supplier |
In general we expect the warehouse, locations, customers, invoicing all to be setup and operational before you look for advice in this part of the system, if not then please look at Maintenance section of the wiki to learn how other areas need to be setup
The process of goods inwards can take a number of different routes
Internal Arrivals - These are goods which are received by the warehouse from internal sources, they do not require a booking and can be receipted simply by using the pre-advice or through the warehouse process
External Arrivals - This is receipts of stock on pre-advices where a booking would normally be required in advance.
There are however exceptions
Vehicle just arrives - if you have a pre-advice you can either add a booking or use the pre-advice forms only you will not be able to use FLEX if there is no booking.
Booking is made but there is no pre-advice, a virtual pre-advice is added which can be updated with the products and codes and reference numbers after receipt.
To follow the process we have split this into several smaller sections each dealing with a specific part of the inwards process. This process can take several weeks and be carried out by multiple people in the admin and warehouse.
Each Tab on the pre-advice form refers to a different link in the list below
