Paperless Goods Receipt

The Paperless Goods Receipt module is used to receive supplier orders via PDAs. It eliminates receiving errors by matching the receipt of goods through barcodes with the original purchase order details and reporting any variance.

The best way to explain how Micronet Paperless Goods Receipt works is to study the timeline below.

Technical Information

1. As goods received dockets are assigned a status of "Paperless Queue", a file with the prefix "GR" and the unique link value as its name is created in the /PDA/goods directory. It is this file that is downloaded to the PDA when Get Next Receipt is selected.
2. The PDA will create a new database on the PDA to process each paperless goods receipt.
3. Once the PDA finishes checking the receipt, the goodsrec.msa file in the \PDA\goods directory is updated with the details, and the receipt is deleted from this directory.
4. It is the goodsrec.msa file that Data.Connect uses to update Micronet with the required information.
