Receive External Order

Receive External Order

To receive in items utilizing the Receive External Order operation, follow the steps outlined below:

1)     From the main point of sale, select the Inventory dropdown. Select Transact Inventory-Receive External Order

2)     Using the drop down, select the correct vendor you are receiving from (note, vendors can have multiple locations and FFLs. Verify this information before continuing).

3)     Once you have you vendor selected, you can search for the item you are receiving by Part Number, Bar Code or Primary Description

4)     After you select the part, you can adjust Quantity, cost, retail, and date received.

5)     If this item is a firearm, you will notice a four, red-line indicator that will need to be selected. Here you can enter in the serial number for the firearm. You can also review all the firearm attribute fields above. This is the last chance to correct firearm information. Once saved this information will be acquired in the bound book.

6)     When all items are added to the screen, click on the blue button- Receive Goods and Create PO

7)     When the green loading bar reaches 100%, this indicates that the products have been received into the POS and any regulated data has been transferred into the bound book.

To verify the serialized item was received in POS, search the item part number in the inventory management. There will be a serial number tab available to view all serial numbers of this item. There is also an inventory tab to review available inventory as well as Purchase Orders.

To verify the serialized item was received in eBound, search the bound book under Search Queries. There is also an API error log under Operating Reports if there was an error acquiring the serial number in the bound book.
