Introduction: Acknowledgement Entry (04-08)

Overview

This selection is used to acknowledge a vendor’s receipt of a purchase order and their anticipated receiving date for the merchandise.

You can acknowledge the entire purchase order or only specific items on the purchase order. Once acknowledged, you can reverse the entire purchase order or only specific items on the purchase order.

Special Notes

• Acknowledgment is critical in environments where the warehousing space is limited, or in Automatic Special Order situations, where deliveries must be set up around the receiving date.
• Acknowledgment does not affect Inventory Master (03-01), but does affect the purchase order immediately for the items acknowledged.
• If a previously acknowledged order is reversed and the Acknowledgment Audit has not been printed, the acknowledgment entry will be removed and the purchase order lines will not print on the Acknowledgment Audit.
