Is there an accepted way to create receipts for items that do not have a Purchase Order (or Customer Order). We have a business requirement to track miscellaneous items that did not originate from a Purchase Order. We are on APPS10 using EE.

@mdeanton are you referring to “Receive Inventory Part” functionality? NREC transactions are generated in for Inventory Transaction History. 

Thanks.

No, this would be for materials that generally wouldn’t be put into inventory nor have a corresponding inventory part number.

This would be for, say, customer furnished materials or other materials that lacked documentation but are still ‘received’. These are items that arrive at the dock and need to be recorded and tracked, but do not have a purchase order number.

The hope would be that there would be some way to create a miscellaneous item to connect the receipts to as a ‘source ref type’ that is not a purchase order, customer order, etc.

You could possibly do a RMA Reciept, I have normally used it for returns or items needing repair, but it does allow of other Items to be returned as well. The down side you have with this is it needs to be recorded against a Customer, but may work for you anyway if it's Customer Owned.

In Application 10, the receipt module was taken out as an individual unit with the expectation of making it a generic receipt function allowing all kind of receipts using single place of the system.

Currently in IFS Cloud receipt is used for both purchase order and shipment order receipts (different source ref type for different objects)

I think it is better clarify with RnD whether they are extending it for order less receipts specially for non inventory (one time) receipts.

 

Creating receipts without a purchase order is possible, but it's generally not recommended as it can lead to confusion and mistakes in accounting. However, if you need to create a receipt without a purchase order, you can do so by including the following information:

  1. The date of the transaction
  2. The name and address of the vendor/supplier
  3. A description of the items purchased, including quantity and price
  4. The total cost of the transaction
  5. Any applicable taxes or fees

You should also keep records of the transaction and maintain proper accounting practices to avoid any potential issues in the future.
