11.6.34 Operations: Create Ad Hoc Inventory Receipt This section demonstrates how to create a receipt for unexpected inventory. Ad hoc inventory receipts are created when inventory arrives at a fulfillment center without a corresponding expected inventory record. This could be due to an unexpected inventory arrival, or it could be the choice of the merchant not to use expected inventory records to record inventory receipts. Products must exist in the WebSphere Commerce system in order to be received, whether the inventory receipt is expected or ad hoc. Follow the steps outlined in Operations: Find Inventory to find the inventory that was received. After the desired inventory has been located on the Inventory Search Results page, follow these steps: 1. Select the check box next to the desired SKU and click Ad Hoc Receipt. This displays the Ad Hoc Receipt page, which is used to create an ad hoc receipt for inventory that has no expected record. 2. The Ad Hoc Receipt page is similar to the Receive Expected Inventory page outlined in 11.6.28, Operations: Create Expected Inventory Receipt. The only difference is that the Ad Hoc Receipt page enables the user to select the vendor from which the goods were received. Fill out the details as in the Create Expected Inventory Receipt process in 11.6.28, Operations: Create Expected Inventory Receipt. 3. After the details have been entered, click OK. A window pops up to indicate that the ad hoc receipt was created successfully. Click OK to close it.
