    Understanding Receiving 

    What is Receiving

    Receiving is a critical process within Canary7, which serves as the starting point for the goods-in workflow. It involves recording and managing the arrival of goods into the warehouse and ensures they are properly accounted for and ready to be put away to their optimal storage location as required.

    Key aspects of the Receiving process include:

    • Capturing the details of incoming shipments, such as item quantities, suppliers, and delivery information, to officially mark goods as received in the system.

    • Profile driven actions: The receiving process can trigger additional actions, such as the automatic creation of Putaway Job Executions, based on the pre-selected Receiving Profile. This allows items to be efficiently directed to their designated storage locations, based on the stipulations of the chosen profile.

    • Ensures that the items received are verified against the purchase orders or receipt details, helping identify discrepancies like shortages, overages, or damaged items.

    • Once goods are receivied and verified, the inventory levels are updated within Canary7 (and your ERP integration if implemented).
