Material Receipts - Item Data
R3
SCREEN
OVERVIEW
The R3 Screen is the last of the three screens that makes up the Material
Receipt function. Its primary purpose is for entering "exception
data" pertaining to a specific item being received. There are three
kinds of exceptions that can be entered here for reporting back to the
SP.
- Weight differences. If the SP allows item
weight exceptions to be reported at receipt time, the OP user can enter
a new weight that overrides the SP's shipped weight.
- Material Damage information. If items
arrive in an "unexpected condition", the OP user can enter codes that
explain the type of damage and probable party at fault.
- Comments. Free form damage and receiving comments can be
entered up to 60 characters each.
The exception information entered in the R3 Screen is considered part
of the overall receiving transaction. After this information is
entered, the OP user must return to the R2 Item List Screen to complete
the receiving process. None of the exception data is saved until the
"Receive" button is clicked on the R2 Screen.
SCREEN OPTIONS
Update Item
Information: All of
the fields on the R3 Screen are essentially optional. To add or
change the displayed data, the OP user can tab until the cursor is in the
desired field, or use the mouse to point and click the cursor in the
desired field. See below for individual field explanations.
Once the data is entered, the user can click the "Update" button
to indicate the necessary changes. The
"Update" button automatically returns the user to the R2 Screen. If
more than one item on a load requires exception data to be entered,
the OP user can click the "Next" or "Previous" buttons to bring up R3
Screen for other items on the same load. If the OP user makes a
mistake and wants to modify the information entered on the R3
Screen, he or she can return to this screen anytime before clicking on the
"Receive" button. Another option for correcting mistakes is to
return to the Material Receipts main screen, R0, and start over again.
