# Receive inbound transactions

The **Order Receiving** page displays released inbound transactions that have not yet been received. Select a transaction, enter the relevant receiving information, then post the receipt from this page.

The **Order Receiving** page supports varying levels of warehouse complexity. If certain warehouse transactions must be completed before a document can be received, they are automatically generated through the receiving process. The program uses the warehouse requirements defined for an inbound transaction's assigned location to determine the warehouse documents created from this page.

> The **Order Receiving** page does not display open documents. A document must be released before it appears on this page.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Order Receiving**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the inbound transaction you want to receive.

If you are receiving inbound transactions in a three-document location, you can select several lines.
3. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Order** group, choose **Receive**.

A page on which you can enter receiving information is displayed. The page that appears depends on how the inbound transaction's assigned location is set up:
  - For one-document locations, the source document appears.
  - For two-document locations, the **Inventory Put-Away** page appears.
  - For three-document locations, the **Warehouse Receipt** page appears.
4. Fill in receiving information for the transaction lines.
5. Post the receiving document.

If you post inbound transactions in a three-document location, the program automatically creates a directed put-away.

The inbound transaction is deleted from the **Order Receiving** page when all items on it are fully received.

> Posting inbound transactions on the **Order Receiving** page only posts receipts. Invoice orders directly from the source documents.
