you may want to explore the pmc 'receiving ticket'.  Probably in a modified

Hello All,

If anyone is willing, I'd like to hear how your process for receiving is
performed. Let me explain.

We were somewhat spoiled. When we implemented Mapics 2 1/2 years ago, we had
an attached package from Mid-range called Purchasing Quick Receiver
installed. This allowed us to not have to use the Mapics receiveing screen
for PO receipts.

With PQR, we can perform the receiving transaction and a piece of paper
automatically prints showing he relevant information of that receipt that
can travel with the part through inspection or until the part is put away in
a location. In addition to showing the date, quantity, supplier, PO number,
etc., it also would show the M/O shortages, if any, that would require this
item. This was quite a convenient document.

We are in the process of switching from PQR to doing our receiving through
Materials Management in the browser format. The actaul receiving transaction
processing is much simpler and quicker than using PQR, but, there is no
document for the receipt printed from this process. In discussing this with
Mapics, it appears that no one has ever asked for a document, there are no
user exits to push a print job, and there are no plans to create one.

I would appreciate hearing how, as a general practice, receiving
transactions are processed and what kind of documentation follows with the
parts.

Thanks for your feedback.
