The Material Reception use case provides an interface to manage and track the receipt of materials or goods into a warehouse or manufacturing facility. It ensures that incoming inventory is properly documented, validated, and stored while maintaining traceability and compliance with quality standards. Key material reception use case features include:
-
Search and filter purchase orders: Quickly locate relevant POs using filters such as PO number, item description, or vendor.
-
Record received materials: Enter received quantities, lot numbers, and vendor details to ensure accurate tracking and traceability.
-
Validate and update inventory: Confirm storage locations and automatically update stock levels upon successful receipt.
Launch the use case using the Dashboard Material Reception menu. This opens a dedicated interface that enables users to filter and select existing purchase orders in order to view and update the related material reception details.

The Material Reception use case consists of:
Purchase order list: Filter existing purchase orders (POs) that are eligible for material reception. It
ensures that only valid, pre-approved POs with registered vendors and defined reception
locations are used to receive inventory, maintaining traceability and compliance.

Material reception details: Capture and validate the specifics of incoming materials once a PO has been selected
from the purchase order list.
