Receiving a Transfer Order
Scanning a Received Transfer Order
Once a TO has been scanned it will not be synced from stocky into Ramp Web. If you want to edit a TO's details in stocky, it must be done before starting to scan or it will have to be manually updated on both systems.
Marking a Transfer Order as Received
Once a transfer order arrives and has been scanned it can been seen on the Ramp Web as scanned. The data collected can then be compared with the original purchase order to see any differences between amounts.
Small Orders
For small orders we recommend using the Ramp Web view of the order to see if there are any differences in quantities. This view doesn't allow for filtering, searching or sorting, making it the preferred view for small orders that require quick viewing. This can be done by:
- Log into Ramp Web and navigate to Orders -> Orders in the left menu. Then navigate to the purchase order that has been received (generally identified by the Order Number) and click View on that order.
- Navigate towards the bottom of the transfer order view to Order Sku's. This area of the view allows you to compare the order quantity, received quantity and allocated quantity of a product.
Large Orders
For large orders we recommend exporting the order's data as a csv and opening it in Excel to be filtered, sorted and searched. This allows for easier navigation of large transfer orders. This can be done by:
- Log into Ramp Web and navigate to Orders -> Orders in the left menu. Then navigate to the purchase order that has been received (generally identified by the Order Number) and click View on that order.
- Click Export and then For Stocky to export and download a csv file of the TO.
- Open the downloaded file (titled Stocky - <transfer order number>) in Excel. This file shows the quantity ordered and the quantity received and the file can be searched, sorted and filtered using Excel.
Partially Received Orders
Once the ordered and received quantities have been analysed, if there was a discrepancy in the quantities, the order can be marked as partially received, meaning that there were some items that cannot be used or were not in the order. To do this:
- Navigate to the transfer orders page in Stocky through Inventory -> Transfers.
- Click on your transfer order to view it.
- Click Barcode Scan to mark items as partially received.
- using the Accept, Restock and Reject columns, items can be marked as received using Accept, as needing to be resent if they are missing/ damaged using Restock or rejected if they were not wanted in the order using Reject. Once the items are marked correctly, click Receive Items to mark the transfer order as entered.
- The Item will then be marked as partially received and the missing amount will be put on back order automatically.
Fully Received Orders
Once the ordered and received quantities have been analysed, if there was not discrepancy between the ordered and received quantities, then the order is fully received and must be marked as such. To do this:
- Navigate to the purchase order in Stocky and ensure all the items in the order are all selected. Once selected, click Receive Selected in the top right of the screen.
- All the items in the transfer order will be marked as received.
If some of the items are fully received and some are partially received, follow the previous methods per item and only select the items that have been fully received before clicking Receive Selected.
