Checking

The Checking option screen will show a list of bookings which require checking. It will only show those which are marked as arrived at the warehouse. These entries will be available for a check even after the vehicle is marked as departed.

You can use the filter option to find the booking easily from the list.

Press on a booking, to view a drop-down list of Pre-advices included in the booking.

Press the CHECK button on the purchase order line, it will take you to the PRE ADVICE CHECK SUMMARY screen.

This screen will display the list of entries that are basically a summary of the PREADVICE CHECK DETAIL screen.

Click here to see what each abbreviation means.

UID - System Pre advice number

PO - Customer PO Refernce number

CPP - Cases per pallet

SPC - Singles per case

SS - Single size

DP - Duty Paid?

Press an entry to enter this Preadvice Check Detail screen.

Preadvice Check Detail

Here you can view and edit the information about the stock that is being receipted.

Check whether the details you have matches the actual physical stock received at the warehouse.

You can only change the information in the blue-lined fields.

Example

You can’t change the PO number field but you can change the actual case quantity or the best-before date.

Also, you can change the Packaging type by clicking the dropdown menu and selecting the right packaging type from it.

You can tick the checkboxes shown below if any of it true for the item you are checking.

Example

If the item is selected for condition reporting you should tick the CR check box. If it's Duty Paid tick that checkbox.

Here you can insert the Actual Quantity Received, in Pallets, Cases, or Singles.

The number of Pallets, Cases, and Singles will be added together.

For example, If one pallet is landed then you will record 1 in the Pallets and leave Cases and Singles as 0.

You do not need to add 1 Pallet and then 1 Pallet worth of cases and 1 Pallet worth of singles - that would triple the quantity of Stock receipted (landed).
