Materials are received into FactoryLogix by executing Goods Received Notes (GRNs) in the Logistics client application or through an xTend integration from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application.
GRNs can be created by the system when POs are created manually. In such cases, you would accept materials, then specify the PO number, the material to receive, and the quantity. The GRN is generated automatically and is available in the Process Incoming Material window.
Executing a receiving process in Logistics is similar to building assemblies for production; a GRN is similar to a production batch.
- Log into the Logistics client application.
Select the Process Incoming Material button to display a list of currently active GRNs that can be executed. (By default, the list is sorted first by priority, then by date.)
- Use the Search field to locate GRNs in the system by GRN, Purchase Order, Part Number, and/or UID.
- Use the Sort drop-down sort GRNs by Priority, then Date or by Date.
When you first access this window, all open GRNs are displayed. - (Optional) Select the My Recent GRNs button to display a list of recently-accessed GRNs.
- Double-click a GRN in the list to display a list of operations for navigation purposes (similar to a production batch).
- Select the first operation in the list, then select the Select button at the bottom of the window.
The Operator Interface template for the selected operation is displayed. From this point, the design of the receiving process itself determines the behavior of the Logistics client application.
