Receive Stock
1. Receiving a delivery
A signature will be required on the relevant delivery driver docket, as per local/carrier procedures. Dockets should be logged and/or filed for future reference.
It is important that the quality, quantity, etc. of physical items are checked as soon as possible following delivery, so that any problems with a delivery can be identified and followed up as soon as possible.
Only acceptable goods or services are to be receipted on the Oracle Financials system. (Refer to Receive/reject Goods or Services in the Purchase to Pay process.) This should ideally be done on the day of the delivery.
For future reference the Oracle receipt number should be written onto the Goods Received Note (GRN) or other delivery document.
Goods received must be physically secured, i.e. stored in their allocated area as soon as possible after delivery.
Appropriate handling of chemicals etc. should be followed. All deliveries of ethanol must be logged in an ethanol register for HM Customs & Excise purposes.
2. Returning/rejecting goods
Ideally items should be returned to the supplier within 48 hours. You should follow local/supplier procedures to physically return goods.
Items should be stored somewhere separate from all other stocks to avoid confusion and must not be receipted on Oracle Financials.
Where no replacements are expected, the acceptance of an
under-receipt quantity should be acknowledged by Close a PO for Receiving 
(88kb).
