Viewing or Changing the Status of a Goods Receipt

Every goods receipt batch in Micronet has a status which tells you how far the batch has progressed. The status of a batch changes automatically when it is downloaded to a PDA and then completed and posted back to Micronet.

You can view the status of a goods receipt batch using the Warehouse Scheduler - Goods Received tab. You can also use this tab to manually change the status of a batch.

Goods receipt batches can have the following statuses:

Paperless – the goods receipt batch is ready for downloading to a PDA, with no special requirements
On PDA – the goods receipt batch is currently loaded onto a PDA and is being checked
Paperless Linked – the goods receipt batch is linked with another receipt. For more information on linked receipts, see "Linking Goods Receipts".
Held – the goods receipt batch is currently in a held state. The receipt will retain its place in the queue but will not be downloaded to a PDA until its status is changed to Paperless.
Completed Paperless – the goods receipt batch has been checked and posted back to Micronet, and is currently waiting to be reconciled and posted.

To view or change the status of a goods receipt batch:

Open the Warehouse Scheduler screen.

Refer to "Displaying the Warehouse Scheduler".

Select the 3. Goods Received tab.

Micronet displays the Warehouse Scheduler - Goods Received tab.

This tab displays the following information:

	Field	Value
	Action	Any action performed on a goods receipt batch through the Warehouse Scheduler that has not yet been processed, e.g. a change to the batch status. When you process the action by following the steps below, this reverts to No Action.
	Type	The current status of the goods receipt batch as listed above.
	Priority	The priority of the goods receipt which determines the order in which it will be downloaded to a PDA for receiving. To change a receipt's priority, see "Changing the Priority of a Goods Receipt".
	Supplier	The supplier ID for the goods receipt.
	Name	The supplier name.
	Docket	2.8 Feature The delivery docket number.
	Invoice	The supplier invoice number.
	Amount	The invoice amount.
	Picked By	2.8 Feature The ID of the PDA user who received the goods.
	Checked By	2.8 Feature The ID of the PDA user who checked the goods receipt batch.

Technical Tip

This screen is not automatically updated. It is a good idea to select FILE | REFRESH every now and then to ensure you are viewing the most recent data.

2.8 Feature

You can copy and paste the list of goods receipt batches to an Excel spreadsheet using the standard copy and paste functions (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) – see "Copying and Pasting from Micronet to Excel (v2.8)".

If you want to change the status of:

a single goods receipt batch, select that batch
more than one goods receipt batch, use the Shift key to select several batches in a row, or use the Ctrl key to select several batches that are not sequential.

Select EDIT SCHEDULE then select one of the following options:

SET SELECTED TO PAPERLESS QUEUE – reset the status of a batch back to the paperless queue awaiting assignment to a PDA (status = Paperless)
SET SELECTED TO HELD – set the status of a batch to Held.

Note that the Action field has now changed to the status you selected.

To process the status change(s), select FILE | PROCESS.

Micronet processes your changes and then redisplays the Warehouse Scheduler - Goods Received tab. Note that the Action field now displays No Action again and that the Type field has been updated with the new status.
