Receiving a WM- document

- Has a generated but canceled WM+ document
- Has a target warehouse selected in the Target Warehouse field that is available for WM-/WM+ documents within the center to which the POS workstation belongs
In the WM- document receipt form, it is necessary to enter delivered items:
- By selecting them from the item list
- By scanning them
- By manually changing the quantities of a given item
The WM- document receipt form is composed of the following columns:
- No.
- Name
- Quantity from Document
- Quantity Received
Hidden by default:
- Item Code
- Base Price
- Replenish Shortages in Shop (in cooperation with Comarch ERP Enterprise only)
- Ordered Quantity
- Rejected Quantity
If an item has been entered with a quantity consistent with the Quantity from Document column, the item is marked in green in the document. Otherwise, in the case of discrepancies (over- or undersupply), it is marked in red (in the Quantity Received column).
The item button menu on the right-hand side of the screen makes it possible to:
- Change the quantity of a given item using the [Quantity] button
- Reject a given item in the case of discrepancies concerning the expected items using the [Reject] button
Below the list of document items, the screen presents information on:

- [Take Receipt of All Items] – it receives all items from the WM- document
- [Show Discrepancies] – it becomes available if discrepancies are detected between quantities received and quantities from a document. Selecting it opens the Discrepancies window.
If a document with discrepancies is confirmed, the POS workstation displays the following notification: “There are discrepancies between the expected and received item quantities.”
The RDR document preview form (in the case of delivery receipts both with and without discrepancies) looks similar as the WM- receipt document.
In the ERP system, it is possible to select a parameter enabling the automatic generation of IR+/IR- documents performed immediately after the confirmation of a document receipt in case there are discrepancies related to delivered items.
Displaying shortages in the shop (Comarch ERP Enterprise)
Comarch ERP Enterprise system contains a parameter making it possible to display a column Replenish Shortages in Shop in the delivery receipt view. The column’s value is calculated as follows: expected quantity on the shelves – (quantity in stock + quantity already received); furthermore, it is only displayed if it is greater than 0.
If the Replenish Shortages in Shop column displays information on shortages on the shelves, a warning sound is played upon the scanning of received items and the following notification is displayed: “Not enough items on the shelves. Please replenish the resources in the store”. Upon delivery receipt, the user should then set aside items that are missing from the shelves and bring them into the store.
Receiving a PO document
A purchase order (PO) is a trade document containing items or services ordered from vendors/sellers. A purchase order receipt (POR) is a document confirming the receipt of items from a vendor into stock under certain purchase conditions. It results in an increase in the quantity of resources in stock.
In Comarch ERP Standard system, dedicated configuration parameters synchronized by Comarch POS are available. The PO Receipts section located on the POS Workstations tab of the center form contains the following parameters:
- Add new items to PORs generated from POs (selected by default)
- Required reference number in manual PORs (unselected by default) – currently, the parameter is not supported
- Show ‘Receive All’ button in POR (unselected by default) – it displays the [Receive All] button on the POS workstation. Thanks to this, the operator can take receipt of all purchase order items.
The PO document form contains the Process in POS parameter – it needs to be activated in order to synchronize a given PO document on the POS workstation.

Take receipt of several purchase orders at once with a single PO receipt (Comarch ERP Enterprise)

To generate a single PO receipt associated with selected purchase orders, make sure the following properties are the same for those documents:

- Target warehouse
- Transaction type
If the required properties of the purchase order documents are not the same, several PO receipt documents will be generated. To generate the documents, the Simultaneous reception of purchase orders parameter must be selected in Comarch ERP Enterprise.
FEFO method (Comarch ERP Enterprise)
If the FEFO method is activated for the POS workstation and the [Take Receipt] button is selected in the list of PO documents, the application displays the notification: “Would you like to manually set the properties of items with no expiration date saved in the barcode?“.
If the user opts out of setting these values manually, they will be set automatically as the default lot number and expiration date based on the existing algorithm.
It is possible to receive more than one lot of each item by:
- Scanning an EAN-128 code with a lot number or expiration date
- Manually adding information on the new lot using the [Show More Details] button
Rejecting outdated lots during a delivery receipt (Comarch ERP Enterprise)
On a POS workstation integrated with Comarch ERP Enterprise, the user cannot select a past date as the expiration date of received lots or scan a barcode with a past expiration date. In such cases, the application displays the notification: “Expired items cannot be received at the shop’s warehouse”.
Validation of a new lot number (Comarch ERP Enterprise)
In Comarch ERP Enterprise system, it is possible to define characters that can be used when creating a new lot number and specify an allowable number length.
If the user enters a lot number that does not comply with the defined conditions, the field will be marked in red and the notification will be displayed: “The defined lot number contains invalid characters or has an invalid length.”
If a code with a lot number that does not comply with the restrictions defined is scanned, Comarch POS application displays the notification “The scanned lot number contains invalid characters or has an invalid length” and opens a window with the lot number highlighted in red.
In Comarch ERP Enterprise system, it is also possible to specify whether letters entered in a lot number should be converted to uppercase, lowercase or left as entered by the user.
