Load receiving completed confirmation

Laurens vd Tang Profile Picture Laurens vd Tang 2,576 Super User 2025 Season 1
One of the useful features added recently, is the ‘Load receiving completed confirmation’. With this feature, warehouse employees can register the product receipt number via the warehouse app during the registration process.

What is a product receipt number? It is a reference number which is linked with the supplier’s packing slip. The product receipt number can be entered manually or generated automatically through a number sequence. It serves as a reference for validating and posting the supplier invoice. When the supplier invoice is posted, an automatic check confirms whether the goods have been delivered based on the supplier packing slip number.

The image below illustrates how this process occurs in Dynamics:



Before the release of the feature ‘Load receiving completed confirmation’, warehouse employees had to register the product receipt in Dynamics 365 SCM through the purchase order or load. I remember many discussions in the past with (key) users about registering the product receipt number—perhaps some ex-colleagues recall these discussions as well.

The new feature allows employees to register the product receipt number in the warehouse app during the registration process. After registration, a batch job can post the product receipt in the background automatically.


What are the benefits for the business?
  • An efficient product receipt registration process;
  • A more user-friendly experience for employees;
  • Seamless integration of the purchase order into the warehouse app.
Configuration

1. The following parameters need to be configured:
  1. Capture receiving completed packing slip: Set this to ‘Always’ or ‘Optional’.
  2. Automatically create at purchase order receiving: To enter the product receipt number, a load ID has to be entered. The load can be created in multiple ways. If the load is only needed for registering the product receipt number, it’s recommended to set this parameter to ‘Yes’.
  3. Load receiving completed confirmation: Set this to ‘Yes’.


Path: Warehouse management > Setup > Warehouse management parameters


2.A menu item with the activity code ‘Receiving completed’ and mode set to ‘Indirect’.



Path: Warehouse management > Setup > Mobile device > Mobile device menu items

3. A menu item with the activity code ‘Data inquiry’ and table name ‘WHSLoadTable’. This menu item is required to enable the lookup of loads via the detour button.



4.The field list for the ‘Loads’ menu item should include the following fields. These fields are necessary for the detour button and to display information in the loads overview.



5. The query for the ‘Look up loads’ menu item should include the fields ‘Direction’, ‘Load Status’, and ‘Scheduled load and shipping date and time’. This way, users will only see relevant loads.



6. Add the ‘Look up loads’ and ‘Receiving completed’ menu items to the mobile device menu to use these with the detour button.



Path: Warehouse management > Setup > Mobile device > Mobile device menu item


7. Set up a detour from the ‘Receiving completed’ menu item to the ‘Loads’ menu.


Path: Warehouse management > Setup > Mobile device > Mobile device steps

8. Set up a detour from the ‘Purchase receive’ menu item to the ‘Receiving completed’ menu.



9. Set up a recurring batch job for the automatic posting of the product receipt.
