Description

This article explains how to Turn ON Progressive receiving for WorkOrders.

WMS standard workflow creates receiving entry once Workorder Built and Closed. 

Sometimes, companies need to receive entry to be generated on WorkOrder creation based on their production workflow.

This is possible via the Progressive receiving setting in WMS.

Datapel highly advises reviewing all WorkOrders and finalizing them before changing settings. 

Having existing WorkOrders (not CLOSED) in the system might cause receiving entry generation failure.

Example:

Open WO in the system. Before changing settings - receiving entry would be generated once WO Closed.

But with progressive receiving Turned ON user Close WorOrder but no Receiving access generated.

Stock Adjustment needs to be performed to receive built goods into the system.
