2 FEATURES OF SWMS RECEIVING SWMS Receiving provides the Operating Company with the ability to: Choose the receiving method that best suits their needs. Easily check in inbound receiving and gather accurate additional data (such as temperature, lot number, and expiration date) using the PO worksheets. Simultaneously check in multiple POs. Track inbound receiving/items by assigning a licensee plate (unique ID) to each pallet of itemss entering the warehouse. Effectively manage receiving and putaway time. Make inbound receiving/items available for order allocation as soon as possible. Obtain up-to-date inventory information. 2

3 METHODS OF RECEIVING SWMS provides two methods of receiving: CRT - All receiving activities can be performed using the CRT. There are two ways in which items can be checked in using the CRT method. The receiver can either: 1. Record quantities and other information on a worksheet. Then, enter the worksheet informationn into SWMS via a CRT. OR 2. Enter quantities and other information directly into SWMS via a CRT. This can be done when there are CRTs on the dock. HAND-HELD RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) DEVICE - Thee RF method provides the operating company with a fast, accurate, and efficient means of checking in items. The RF method uses a hand held radio frequency device. Information is transmitted to and from the RF device via radio frequency. The RF device contains a: Scanner used to scan bar codes. Screen used to display SWMS information and enter information. 3

How the worksheet is used iss License Plates - A license plate is a bar-coded pallet tag which is affixed to each pallet that iss received. The license plate contains a unique number that identifies a pallet. Every pallet of items that enters the warehouse is assigned a license plate. License plates are bar-coded for RFF dataa entry and contain information about the pallet such as the: Associated PO. System-assigned license plate number (bar-coded and printed). System-assigned putaway location. Quantity, item description, receiving date, etc. 7

8 PRE-DEFINED RECEIVING SYSTEM PARAMETERS Prior to SWMSS implementation, operating company management will determine how the following files, data, and system flags will be configuredd to affect Receiving logic. Syspar File ( Flags) Expiration Warning Days - The number of days (prior to the expiration date or expiration of shelf life), thatt the license plate will appear on the Expiration Warning Report and create cycle count assignment tasks. (if Create Expiration Cycle Count flag is set to Y ). Overage - Whether or not you want the system to allow Receivers to receive overagee quantitiess (without and extended PO) and, if yes, the quantity that can be received. N = No Overage U = Unlimited T = Ti P = Pallet Percent of Tolerance - The percent of tolerance you want the system to allow for receiving of catch weight items. This will also affect the recorded weight of the items on inventory. Can be 01 through 99. Example: Flag set at 10, system will allow a variation of +/- 10% of the average weight shown in the Item Detail Record. PO Retentionn Days - The number of days that closed Can be 01 through 55. Purchase Orders will remain on SWMS. 8

10 PROFORMA CORRECTIONS The Proforma Corrections functionn in SWMSS is used by Inventory Control to adjust receivedd quantities and weights. When a pallet is confirmed putaway (but the PO is not closed), inventory and the related un-vouchered AP accountss are offset for the partial amount andd appears on the Summary of Proformas as partial receipts. Upon closing a PO in SWMS, a CLO transaction flowss to Accounts Payable and a Proforma iss created. The Proforma is matched to the PO ordered quantity and a Task Manager message iss created if the quantity is less than the ordered quantity. When the invoice in entered into Accounts Payable, the Proforma is automatically matched to thee invoice. Task Manager messages are sent to Inventory Control and Merchandising for differences between the invoiced quantity and weight. 10

11 RECEIVING EXCEPTIO ONS After the first matching process, receiving exceptions found will generate a Task Manager message. When a receiving exception message appears, the exception is researched and either the Proforma amount is confirmed or adjusted, a reasonn code is assigned to the Task Manager message. The receiving exception reason codes are: BR - Buyer Error CL - Clerical Error DM - Damaged RC - Receiving Correction Upon confirmation of the Task Manager message, the Merchandiser has access to the Proforma to make any freight adjustments. 11

12 INVOICE EXCEPTIONS An invoice exception is generated after the second matching process. Invoice exceptions are generated for the following situations: 1. The Proforma quantity and weight does not equal the invoice quantity and weight, OR 2. The Proforma price does not equal the invoice price, and the invoice exception does not equal the receiving exception. Task Manager messages are generated for invoice exceptions. Research the exceptions and confirm the Task Manager messagee just as the receivingg exception. The invoice exception reason codes are: BR - Buyer Error CL - Clerical Error DM - Damaged RC - Receiving Correction VN - Vendor Exception 12
