FSM automatic Receiving ID

This can be done by an XML Business Rule. The Rule Input should identify the Purchase Order and the below XML will create and then post the Receiving record. You may want to add a relationship definition on the Purchase Order metadata to Receiving table so that the business rule input can check a Receiving does not already exist.
