Goods receipts in Scopevisio

Basic principle of the goods receipt process

The goods receipt process is based on the documented result. You use the supplier's documents such as delivery notes and packing slips.

Important: You do not necessarily need these documents in the process as a document in Scopevisio. For documentation reasons, you can assign the document to the order.

Two different starting points

Depending on whether the order has been delivered in full or in part, you have different starting points:

Option 1: From the document to the purchase order

  • You start in Scopevisio under "Purchase order"

  • Suitable for the fast and efficient processing of complete deliveries or the delivery of a complete order (full delivery).

Option 2: From product to order

  • You start in Scopevisio under "Goods receipts"

  • Suitable for partial deliveries or multiple orders


1. convert purchase order to delivery (complete delivery)

Carry out the process

When an order is delivered, you can convert it into a delivery.

This is how it works:

  1. Open the order

  2. Convert the order into a delivery

  3. The system automatically creates a goods receipt with all products, quantities and prices from the purchase order

Important: This usually requires the individual products and quantities to be checked manually.

Enter mandatory information

Delivery note number (delivery number):

  • Carefully enter the supplier's delivery note number

  • Use the "Delivery number" field for this purpose

  • The entry must be made manually

Why is the delivery note number important?

  • It helps to trace the incoming invoice later in the invoice receipt book (ReBu)

  • It enables the automated allocation of the invoice

  • It documents with which delivery which products arrive in which quantities from which supplier

  • It ensures clarity in communication with your supplier

Posting date:

  • Enter the posting date

  • In most cases, this is today

Finalise goods receipt

Save and post:

  1. Save the goods receipt

  2. Once processing is complete, click on "Post"

  3. The goods receipt is finalised

Result:

  • The order no longer appears in the open orders table

  • The purchase order appears in the goods receipts table


2. process partial deliveries

Partial delivery of items

Situation: A purchase order consists of 10 items, but you have only received 9 items.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Convert the order into a delivery

  2. Save the process

  3. Remove the undelivered item

  4. The item is not included in the delivery

  5. The item remains on the order as a remaining quantity

Partial delivery of quantities

Situation: The order quantity was not delivered in full.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Convert the order into a delivery

  2. Save the process

  3. Change the delivery quantities to the quantities actually delivered

  4. The undelivered quantities are not included in the delivery

  5. The undelivered quantities remain on the purchase order as a remaining quantity


3. underdelivery or missing quantities

Definition

Formally, you speak of an underdelivery or shortfall if the supplier's documents do not match the quantity available.

Example:

  • Order quantity: 31 pieces

  • Delivery note from the supplier: 22 units

  • Actually arrived: 19 pieces

  • Missing quantity: 3 pieces

Recommended procedure

The following procedure is recommended for clear documentation:

  1. Enter the goods receipt with 22 pieces (according to the delivery note)

  2. Convert this process into a return

  3. Generate the return for 3 pieces back to the supplier, thus documenting the missing 3 pieces and this appears as a line entry in the invoice verification.

Advantage: This ensures clear documentation and clarity.


4. partial deliveries and cancellation of backorders

Situation

Sometimes you do not receive all the goods ordered in one delivery:

  • You receive items or quantities available from the supplier directly

  • Others are delivered later

  • Backorders are delivered collectively

Changed sequence

In this case, you change the order. You do not start searching for individual orders from the product to the order.

Procedure

Step 1: Open goods receipts

  1. Select the "Goods receipts" item in the ribbon

  2. You will receive an overview of your goods receipts

  3. The overview always refers to the warehouse or location for which the order was created

Step 2: Open goods receipt

  1. Open a goods receipt by double-clicking on a line

  2. You will see the details of the goods receipt

  3. You will see the predecessor and successor documents, if available

Step 3: Carry out order comparison

You can enter individual items and reference them to the corresponding purchase orders using the order comparison function.

Automatic allocation:

  • Scopevisio takes over the assignment to the oldest open order quantity

Manual allocation:

  • If the automatic allocation does not meet your requirements, select a different purchase order from the overview

  • The order must still have the previously added product with a remaining quantity as an open order quantity

Step 4: Finalise

  1. After successful allocation, use the "Back" command to return to the goods receipt view

  2. Save the process or finalise it

  3. The goods receipt is posted with "Post"

Enter the delivery number

As mentioned above, the delivery number (the manual entry of the supplier's delivery note) is an intermediate step that is very important in the subsequent process.
