From the "Landed Cost Container Detail" screen it is possible to quickly create a Warehouse Receipt for the Container that will include all Purchase Order Lines that have been assigned to the Container, as detailed in the Landed Cost Containers section.
Note: it is a pre-requisite of this functionality that the Container has been Released, that all Purchase Lines within the Landed Cost Container belong to the same Location and that the Location is configured with Require Receive turned on, as only in this scenario can Warehouse Receipts be used within Business Central.
So long as the above pre-requisites are in place, then the user can simply select Create Whse. Receipt from the Process menu, as depicted below. In doing so a new Warehouse Receipt document will be created with all of the Purchase Order Lines that belong to the Container and still have a quantity outstanding, and the "Warehouse Receipt" screen is opened. Any of the Purchase Orders that are still Open are released automatically.
The Warehouse Receipt cannot be created, and an error is shown, if:
-
no Purchase Order Lines with an outstanding quantity are assigned to the Container
-
the Purchase Order Lines for the Container are not all in the same Location
-
no warehouse request is found for the Purchase Orders, for example because the Location does not require a receipt
The new Warehouse Receipt shows the Landed Cost Container No. and the Landed Cost Vehicle ID of the Container on the General FastTab. The Landed Cost Container No. is also shown on the "Warehouse Receipts" list. When the Warehouse Receipt is posted, the Vehicle ID is carried through to the posted receipt lines.
You can access the Warehouse Receipts for a Container directly from the "Landed Cost Containers" screen or the "Landed Cost Container Detail" screen by selecting Warehouse Receipts from the Navigate menu.
Whilst a Warehouse Receipt exists for the Container you cannot change the Landed Cost Container Qty. on the Container lines. If Restrict Container Reopen is enabled on the "Landed Cost Setup" screen, you also cannot Reopen the Container.
When a Container has been received in full, it will automatically become a Closed Container, where the Status is set to Closed.
Note: the Container is closed automatically however the Purchase Order Lines are received, whether through this Warehouse Receipt, another "Warehouse Receipt" or by posting the receipt directly from the "Purchase Order".
