Understanding Receiving Profile

What is Receiving Profile?

A configured set of options that can create a unique receiving process, serving as the starting point for the goods-in workflow within the warehouse. Receiving Profiles allow for the option to create several unique profiles depending on the various way items can be received into the Warehouse. An example of this is to delineate between a Standard Receiving Profile and a Returns Receiving Profile: A Returns Receiving Profile may allow operatives to "Blind Receive" i.e. a process where the receiving team will accept and process incoming items without prior access to detailed information about what the expected contents are. This is a standard receiving method for returns receiving in Warehouse operations.

Another common way to differentiate a receiving process would be in deciding between Check and Put (A process in which items are Putaway once they are checked in) or Check and Locate (A 2 step process in which items are checked in, placed in a temporary holding area, and then putaway using Locating Rules)
