Introduction
Introduction
Receiving is the process of bringing product into the facility and entering information
into the ASN/Receipt when the product arrives.
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 can accommodate a wide range of receiving
scenarios. Designed to integrate tightly with existing Advanced Planning and
Scheduling (APS), Order Management (OMS), Transportation Management (TMS),
and other planning or execution systems, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 canreceive inbound order information from many different sources.
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 can receive product in a validated (against a PO
and ASN/Receipt) or invalidated (no PO or ASN/Receipt) manner. The PO and
ASN/Receipt can be populated via keyboard entry, EDI, or proprietary host interface.
Once the receiving information is entered, SSA Warehouse Management 4000
reports it to other systems using EDI or proprietary host interfaces. Receipts can be
tracked down to the case or pallet ID level.
The SSA Warehouse Management 4000 receiving process includes all of the
activities necessary to receive product into the facility, whether it involves actually
unloading trucks, rail cars, or shipping containers at a loading dock, or recording the
movement of product from an in-house assembly line into storage. The goal of
receiving is to process product quickly and accurately and allow the office and the
receiving dock to crosscheck each other.

Introduction
Receive Load and Update PaperworkAs the product is unloaded, associates can check the load against the information on
the ASN/Receipt. They note any discrepancies and send the updated worksheets back
to the office. Alternatively, RF terminals can be used to scan the information.
Update Load and Post as ReceivedUsing the updated worksheets, an office data entry operator updates information about
the load and posts it as received. RF terminals can also automatically update the
system.

Receiving Methods
Receiving Methods
RF ReceivingUsing the Radio Frequency (RF) receipt option, users can receive product against an
ASN or Purchase Order (validated), or without an ASN or Purchase Order (invalidated)
as the product arrives at the warehouse. Receipts can also be performed using
alternate product codes created during the Commodity setup.
Console-based ReceivingUsing the PC console (GUI), users can receive product against an existing or new
ASN. If you enter a PO number into the ASN record that is being updated, the system
updates the associated PO with the receipt information. If no PO is entered during the
ASN update, then the receipt is termed invalidated. The main difference with console-
based receiving is that you enter the information into the ASN/Receipt on the GUI after
the product arrives in the facility, rather than ahead of time. Many facilities call the
resulting document a Warehouse Receipt.

ASN Status HistoryTo view the status history for ASNs, the following flags must be enabled in the System
Administ rat ion Configure System Settings screen: LOGASNHEADERSTATUS orLOGASNDETAI LSTATUS. These flags determine whether the system retains ASN
history.
PO Status HistoryTo view the status history for POs, the following flag(s) must be enabled in the System
Administ rat ion Configure System Settings screen: LOGPOHEADERSTATUS orLOGPODETAI LSTATUS. These flags determine whether the system retains PO history.
LottablesLottables are characteristics of a Lot that is unique to a Commodity. When theseattributes change, a new Lot is assigned to the affected Commodity. SSA Warehouse
Management 4000 currently supports Lottable01 through Lottable10.
Lottable Validation for CommodityLottable validation verifies that Lot attributes for a Commodity meet pre-defined
requirements, such as Shelf Life.
PackThe Pack code determines the Unit of Measurement (UOM) SSA Warehouse
Management 4000 uses to track product in the facility. Each Pack code uses one or
more UOM. A UOM is a type of quantity, such as each or case. SSA Warehouse
Management 4000 treats the UOM as a component of a package. The Pack is used
to store, pick, and process product based on the smallest sellable unit. When setting
up a Pack code, specify:
All UOMs associated with the package
Which UOM shall be used to track product in the package.
Purchase and ASN/Receipt Data ImportElectronic Commerce is used to import and export Purchase and ASN/Receipt Data
through the interface file. Electronic Commerce provides a set of functions that can be
used to exchange information between the SSA Warehouse Management 4000
Client/Server product and external systems. The data is transmitted as flat text files.
For additional information, refer to the SSA Warehouse Management 4000Interface
Guide.

Verifying and Closing a Purchase Order
A Purchase Order (PO) is a contract between the buyer of the product and vendor of
the product. If the buyer intends to store products in your warehouse, they are referred
to as the Storer, or owner of product. The Storer can send the facility, via fax or phone
call, a copy of the purchase order for product due to arrive, or the information can be
downloaded via EDI or a proprietary host interface. Tracking the information on the PO
expedites the actual receipt process.

The Advance Shipment Notice Receipt (ASN/Receipt) is a receipt document in SSA
Warehouse Management 4000. Information, such as Carrier and receipt date is
tracked on the ASN. An ASN can be populated from a Purchase Order (PO) and
multiple POs can be associated with the ASN. The ASN/Receipt process allows the
warehouse to prepare for the arrival of product, which increases efficiency and
improves accuracy. Barcode labels can be printed in advance and associates can be
allocated accordingly.
The expected receipt information can be transmitted electronically via EDI, proprietary
host interface, or entered manually.
The ASN/Receipt can be used for actual receipt of the product into the warehouse,
which reduces data entry time and simplifies the receipt process. Some facilities refer
to the ASN/Receipt as the Warehouse Receipt.

Console-based Receiving
The topics in this section provide an overview of Console-based receiving, and identify
the steps to receive products using the PC console (instead of an RF gun). The
following topics are covered:
Receiving Using the Console
Printing Receipt Labels Using the Console Receiving Lottable Products Using the Console
Console-based receiving is the process of receiving product using the computer (PC)
console instead of an RF gun. This is also referred to as using the GUI (Graphical
User Interface).
The process of receiving product is very similar to entering an ASN/Receipt, as
described in the previous section. The main difference is that you enter information
into the ASN/Receipt afterthe product has arrived in the facility, rather than ahead of
time. Many facilities call the resulting document a Warehouse Receipt.
Using the PC Console (GUI), you receive product against an existing or new ASN. If a
PO number is entered into the ASN record that is being updated, the system validates
the associated PO with the receipt information. If no PO is entered during ASN update,the receipt is considered invalidated.

Receiving Catchweight ProductsDuring Console-based receiving, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 identifies
whether the Commodity is a catchweight or catch data item by displaying a C after the
Received field in the Detail List tab. In addition, the Weight/Data tab is enabled, which
allows you to enter weight and data information for the item. For additional information,
refer to the SSA Warehouse Management 4000 Catchweight/Catch Data User
Guide.
Receiving Lottable ProductsWhen receiving Commodities into the warehouse, periodically different lot numbers
need to be captured and validations need to be performed on each lottable product. A
lot is a number that combines products with like attributes. Storer requirementsdetermine the attributes that define the lottable criteria. For example, a food
manufacturer might lot perishable foods according to an expiration date.
During Console-based receiving, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 displays
lottable fields based on the Commodity entered in each ASN detail line. The Detail List
tab displays an L next to the Received field for Commodities identified with lottable
fields. When receipt data is transmitted, SSA Warehouse Management 4000
determines whether any of the lottable fields require validation. If none of the fields
require validation, the receipt is accepted and the changes are reflected on the ASN
record. If any fields require validation, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 validates
the date format and (or) minimum shelf life rules. If the Receipt was received through
the APIs and an ExternalLot was specified, then the lottables are already be set to the
expected values and cannot be changed. The ExternalLot can be changed onlythrough the APIs and not in the Console. Based on the data entered, the receipt is
either processed or an error message is returned.

Validation requirements for lottables are set up on the Lottable
Display/Validation screen. Refer to the SSA Warehouse Management 4000
User Reference Guide, Chapter 3 Setup, Setting Up LottableDisplay/Validation for additional information.
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 validates the following during Console-based
receiving:
Data entered in a lottable field is in valid date (YYMMDD) format.
Only six (6) characters can be entered.
All characters must be numeric.
The MM section must be in the range of 01-12.
The DD section of the data must be valid based on the MM dataentered. For example, if the MM is 01, the DD must be within the range
01-31; if the MM is 02, the DD must be within the range of 01-29, and so
on.
Data entered in a Lottable field passes minimum shelf life rules.
If the Shelf Life Code Type defined at the Commodity level is Expiration
Date, the system subtracts the date entered from the receiving date. If
the resulting number is greater than or equal to that entered in the
Minimum Shelf Life on Receiving field on the Lottable Maintenance
header, then SSA Warehouse Management 4000 updates the ASN
record.
If the resulting number is less than that entered in the Minimum ShelfLife On Receiving field on the Lottable Maintenance header, the
system returns an error message indicating that the Minimum Shelf Life
Rules have been violated.
Validation can also be set to check against Manufacturing Date rather
than Expiration date.
Data entered in YYMMDD format is the standard date format for a
geographical region, and stores the new value in the lottable04 and lottable05
fields on the ASN/Receipt record.

Alternate Commodity
Commodities in a warehouse can be identified with a variety of labels, each referring to
the product by a different name or item number. For example, a product can belabeled with a UPC and a vendor item number. The vendor item number could be
considered anAlternate Commodity. During RF receiving, SSA Warehouse
Management 4000 can recognize any Alternate Commodity, provided the Master
Commodity has been linked with one or more Alternate Commodities. The link setup
process is done through Support Setup Alternate Commodity.During RF receiving, you can scan any label on the box for the Commodity number. If
you scan a Master Commodity, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 returns the
Pack and default Unit of Measure (UOM) for the Master Commodity. If you scan an
Alternate Commodity, the system returns the Pack and default UOM defined for the
Alternate Commodity. If there is no Pack or UOM defined for the Alternate Commodity,
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 returns the defaults set up for the Master
Commodity.
During the course of any other RF operation, if you scan an Alternate Commodity, the
system returns the details related to the Master Commodity.

Receiving Lottable Products
During RF Receiving, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 displays lottable fields
based on the Commodity you enter or scan. When receipt data is transmitted, SSAWarehouse Management 4000 performs a check to determine if any of the lottable
fields require validation. If none of the fields require validation, the receipt is accepted
and the changes are reflected on the ASN record. If any of the fields require validation,
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 performs a validation check. Based on the data
entered in the lottable fields, the update is either processed, or an error message is
returned.
During RF Receiving, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 performs the following
validation and conversion process:
Data entered in a lottable field is in valid date (YYMMDD) format.
Only six (6) characters can be entered.
All characters must be numeric.
The MM section must be in the range of 01-12.
The DD section of the data must be valid based on the MM data entered.
For example, if the MM is 01, the DD must be with the range 01-31; if the
MM is 02, the DD must be within the range 01-29, and so on.
Data entered in a lottable field passes minimum shelf life rules.
If the RF Receiving Code Date Type is E (Expiration Date), the system
subtracts the date entered from the receiving date. If the resulting number
is greater than or equal to that entered in the Minimum Shelf Life On
Receiving field on the Lottable Maintenance header, then SSA
Warehouse Management 4000 updates the ASN record.
If the resulting number is less than that entered in the Minimum Shelf Life
On Receiving field on the Lottable Maintenance header, the system
returns an error message indicating that the Minimum Shelf Life Rules
have been violated.
Validation can also be set to check against the Manufacturing Date rather
than the Expiration Date.
Data entered in YYMMDD format is converted to the standard date format for
a geographical region, and stores the new value in the lottable04 and
lottable05 fields on the ASN/Receipt record.
If you set a standard date format in Screens on the computer or server to
YYMMDD format; when a date is entered for a lottable field on the GUI
and (or) RF, SSA Warehouse Management 4000 checks the date format
and makes the appropriate conversion if the Screens date format is
different.

UCC/EAN 128 Receiving
Advancements in barcode technology have allowed vendors to create labels that
contain multiple bits of data within a single barcode. SSA Warehouse Management 4000 allows the receiver to scan a UCC/EAN 128 barcode at any time during the entry
of an RF receipt record. The system:
Recognizes the scan of this barcode
Parses the information into its individual data elements
Populates the appropriate RF fields.
UCC / EAN 128 symbols include:
A light margin ( [ )
A start character (A, B, orC)
A FNC character ( 1 )
Application Identifier (A1
A2
A3
A4) A two- to four-digit prefix used to identify
the type of data that follows
Data string Alphanumeric data string which follows the AI
A symbol check character
A stop character ( ] )
Any label scanned that begins with [A1, [B1,or[C1 signifies that the barcode is
UCC/EAN 128. The system then parses the data string associated to each application
identifier (AI) into the appropriate fields. A UCC/EAN 128 barcode label can be
comprised of multiple (AI) data combinations in the same barcode.
Prompts.iniThe prompt s. i ni file must be modified to manage the field mapping configurations
for UCC/EAN 128. All of the supported AIs must be entered into prompt s. i ni , along
with the SSA Warehouse Management 4000 database field mappings for the AI data
strings.
To support multiple Storers with the same prompt s. i ni file, the system allows
multiple AIs to be mapped to the same SSA Warehouse Management 4000
database field. For example, Storer A can have the AI associated with Manufacturing
Lot Number mapped to Lottable 03, while Storer B can have the AI associated with
Unit Weight mapped to Lottable 03. The system produces a warning message during
the setup ofprompt s. i ni , if you map two AIs to the same database field. In theinstance where a single UCC/EAN 128 label contains both of the AIs that are mapped
to a single database field, the last AI read is updated. No error is produced and the
second AI data string overwrites the first AI data string.
The system does not support mapping a single AI to multiple database fields. If this is
attempted, an error message similar to the following displays:
AI xxxx is already mapped to a database field. Cannot map an AI to multiple fields.
SSA Warehouse Management 4000 Receiving User Guide 59
7/28/2019 RECUG
68/78
RF Receiving
ProcessingUCC/EAN 128 labels can be used in conjunction with Case Level, SSCC and Standardreceiving, depending on the files updated in prompt s. i ni . For Case Level receiving,
one of the AIs and subsequent data strings in the barcode is the LPN number.
The parsing of data into the appropriate fields occurs regardless of the RF field the
cursor is in when the scan is done, provided the mapping has been done inprompt s. i ni . Data strings from unmapped AIs are ignored.
The advantage of using UCC/EAN 128 Receiving is that the data entry time is reduced
because required fields for capture are contained within the barcode and parsed at the
time of scan.
At any time, users can key the data to prompt the system to parse data strings into the
appropriate fields. For example, if you type [C1 (00)155512120000033312], the
system would recognize the [C1 as a UCC/EAN 128 symbol, recognize (00) to mean
LPN, and populate the LPN field with 155512120000033312. The RF system does not
make any distinction between scanning the label and manually keying the entire
barcode number.

Receipt Reversals
This section provides an overview of Receipt Reversals and identifies the necessary
steps to perform a receipt reversal.
Receipt reversal is the process of reversing inventory quantity after it is received into
the warehouse. Performing a receipt reversal resets information for Purchase Orders
and ASNs (Advanced Shipment Notices). This option corrects inventory and makes
the required data changes to accurately display the reversal on the PO and ASN.
Receipt Reversals can only be performed before putaway. Product must still be in the
original received location. Once product has been put away, an adjustment must be
performed. Adjustments are made to specific receipt lines with an UNRECEIVE reason
code on the Adjustments screen.
Note
Only the full quantity that was received on the receipt line number can be
reversed. Receipt reversals for Crossdock receipts only can be performed via
RF. This method requires a case ID.
WARNING!
Limit user access to Receipt Reversals.
