If a business typically places a large volume of purchase orders daily, the receiving process may be streamlined so that a single delivery to a company facility represents several purchase transactions. In some instances, the company uses its own trucks to ship items to customers, then picks up purchased items from vendor locations as the vehicles return to the warehouse.
The truckload receiving functionality lets companies process inbound transactions in this manner by giving you the ability to consolidate several orders into a single receiving activity. You can specify receiving information for both individual purchase documents and the truckload receipt as a whole.
The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
