On the vendor packing list, beside the quantity, place a checkmark if the quantity is correct. If it is not correct, it should be circled, and the quantity difference noted. The person checking in the product will initial and date the paperwork.
A PO Discrepancy form should be filled out and appropriate action taken depending on the situation. In the case of additional item/wrong items sent and we are not keeping the items, the vendor should be contacted and arrange to return the unwanted items.
The person who actually does the receiving in SXe should also initial and date the packing slip as INPUT BY-.
If material found in the shipment was not on the PO, contact Anthony D BEFORE starting the receiving process. He will decide if the material should be received or not.

How to Receive a Serialized item in POEI
While Receiving a PO, if serialized items are recognized the system will provide warning. The warning references that serial numbers must be entered for the line(s) on the PO to be received after the quantity has been entered and <SUBMIT> has been clicked.
Click <OK> to get past this error message.
There is a visual queue to help identify which item(s) are serialized.
Click the <Right Arrow> of the Row of the item(s) to include/entry of the serial numbers.
Enter the serial number(s)
Click <ADD/SELECT SERIAL> after each serial number is entered.
Once all serial numbers have been entered, Quantity to Allocate will be at Zero.
Click <SAVE>
Complete the PO Receipt as normal or repeat for any other items that are serialized.
Click <SUBMIT>
Click <FINAL UPDATE>
Printer For Allocation and Receipt Report.
There is only one chance to print this report. Most find it as a waste of paper BUT it could prove handy if there comes to be an issue later. Printing to File and entering the File name provides a bit of hope to find this report later.
