There are 2 ways to receive products into the warehouse.

Blind Receipt

Meaning you are receiving products without any Packing lists, and you add the SKUs and quantities manually one by one.

Receiving against PO/ASN

This is most common where you receive against a packing list that is created by you or by your customer. Your customer would login to their portal and create the PO and packing list before products are shipped.

There is also an option for the vendors/suppliers to login to the portal and create the packing list when they ship products to you.

Generally the workflow for receiving is:

PO → Receipt of products → Supervisor Quality Control → Confirm Receipt → Put away

Packem creates a put away task for the warehouse after receipt is confirmed. Put away can be completed on the handheld scanner device.
