This activity is used to automatically receive all remaining material for the selected shop order. It is not possible to receive material automatically for catch unit enabled parts. The system will display a message if this process is used for a catch unit enabled part. In such situations, you will have to perform a manual receipt.
This activity requires that the material must be issued and operations must be reported. A default inventory location must be defined for the part. Else, a value must exist in the Proposed Location field in the Shop Order Detail window. You can use the List of Values to select a value for the proposed location. (When creating the shop order, the system copies the default location number from the Inventory Part/Default Locations tab to the Proposed Location field.)
If the order is connected to a control plan for which the Receipt Not Allowed check box is selected, the control plan analysis needs to be confirmed and all time triggers need to be stopped.
You cannot receive serial parts automatically.
As a result of this activity the system causes the material to be received at the default inventory location. The parts will be received into project inventory if the shop order is connected to a project activity. When you enter the shop order, you can specify that it should be closed automatically, provided that the number of parts received is within the closure tolerance. If it is, the shop order is closed automatically. If you have selected manual closure, you must close the shop order after you have completed the receipt. If the shop order is marked as customer order-based and was created when a customer order line was entered, the received part is automatically reserved for the customer order line. A work in process (WIP) transaction is created.
