Product receipt
Activity Flow

Set up a document flow to define how to import a product receipt that you received from a specific 3PL warehouse.

On the document flow, you can set one of these EDI messages to import a product receipt:

• 'XML product receipt to EDI inventory order' (custom message): If you use staging, use this message to receive a product receipt from a 3PL warehouse. This message imports the received product receipt into the EDI inventory order journal. When the import is completed, the applicable validations are done automatically.
• 'Warehouse - XML to Arrival journal': If you do not use staging, use this message to receive a product receipt from a 3PL warehouse. This message imports the received product receipt directly into the Arrival journal.

You can choose to exchange this EDI message using a web service. In this case, instead of a message, use an inbound web service action with one of the above messages as request message.

For the 'Warehouse - XML to Arrival journal' message, use the predefined 'BisDocumentWMSJournal' handler. This handler:

• Posts the arrival journal after the data is imported.
• Posts the packing slip for purchase orders if a packing slip ID is set.
• Stores errors in the message history.

Define this handler on the target document of the 'Warehouse - XML to Arrival journal' message. You define the handler on the document header, in the Custom section. Make sure, the Document type of the target document is set to 'WMS journal'.

You can use the EDI inventory order staging journal to receive and validate product receipts from a 3PL warehouse. The related messages are not included in the EDI tutorial project. So, these need to be custom build during implementation.

If you use staging, you receive a confirmation from the 3PL warehouse that items are received, with a custom 'XML product receipt to EDI inventory order' message. This message imports the received confirmation into the EDI inventory order journal. When the import is completed, the applicable validations are done automatically.

You can, for example, use staging in your EDI process for picking list registrations or product receipts. You can use these messages to import the received information into the EDI inventory order journal:

• 'XML picking list registration to EDI inventory order'.
• 'XML product receipt to EDI inventory order'.

The EDI inventory orders are validated according to the applicable journal validation setup. If the applicable validation rules are:

• Met, the EDI inventory order is automatically approved. An approved EDI inventory order is processed by the applicable custom message. For example: 'EDI inventory order to picking list registration' or 'EDI inventory order to product receipt'.
• Not met, an error or warning is given. Before the EDI inventory order can be processed further, review the errors and warnings, and take appropriate actions.

You can use the EDI inventory order staging journal to receive and validate product receipts from a 3PL warehouse. The related messages are not included in the EDI tutorial project. So, these need to be custom built during implementation.

If a product receipt is validated and approved in the EDI inventory order journal, it can be imported in the Arrival journal with a custom 'EDI inventory order to product receipt' message.

For the custom 'EDI inventory order to product receipt' message, use the predefined 'BisDocumentWMSJournal' handler. This handler:
