Introduction
This program is designed to work with and like the TurningPoint (TP) Purchase Order Receiving
process. The difference is that with i-PO Receive bar coded items can be “checked in” (scanned in)
using a portable data collection device (PT40) with built in bar code scanner. With the standard
TurningPoint process all counts are gathered manually and on paper.
Will i-PO Receive work for my company?
To use this product you need to have some bar coded inventory. It does not ALL have to be bar coded.
The items that are not bar coded can be received using TurningPoint’s standard process in conjunction
with i-PO Receive.
The inventory bar codes can be stored in TurningPoint as Item Codes or UPC’s (on the UOM tab). If
your inventory is not bar coded you could consider bar coding it. TurningPoint comes with the ability to
print 8.5x11 sheets of bar coded labels for inventory items and Total BusinessWare, Inc. has other
optons available.
The “Receive Purchase Orders” routine in TurningPoint allows you to edit costs during PO
Receipt. This essential step is also available using i-PO Receive.
LOTTED or SERIALIZED items? Scan the quantity to be received. The process will update the PO with
that quantity. Then enter the serial or lot numbers as you normally would through TurningPoint. –Serial
and lot numbers themselves can not currently be gathered on the PT40.
Assumptions / Rules:
1. All PO lines are for unique items.
In other words an item does not appear on more than one line of a single PO.
2. Lotted or serialized items can be received but the lots and serial numbers must be
gathered on paper and entered in during TP Receive Purchase Orders process.
3. Scanned item codes go through a priority search to determine Unit of Measure. The
search first looks through the UPC data from the TP UOM tab since these records are
always associated with a UOM and Conversion Factor. Then the search continue to the
TP Item Code fields. If a hit occurs on Item Code then the Purchasing Unit of Measure
is used.
4. If an item has more than one UOM:
a. Make sure the bar codes to be scanned during receiving are setup properly on
the TP Inventory UOM Tab. Proper setup includes three fields. UOM,
Conversion Factor, and UPC Code.
b. Use only one UOM per item on a single PO. Do not order or receive 1 case of
12 and later 6 each for a total of 18 units. –Order and receive either 1.5 cases or
18 eaches.
5. As of this writing TP has no logic to prevent a user from entering the same UPC code
for two or more different items. We use the first one found. If you have issues with this
we offer tools to help cleanup your database.
6. During the process (iPOupdate) we replace the Qty you originally ordered on the PO
with the quantity actually received. Reprints of the PO will reflect this.
7. Items with Scanned Qty 0 will be deleted from the PO during the iPOupdate POST
process. The item will no longer show up on reports or during the receiving process.
8. To maintain proper “On Order” Quantities you should run the TP Recalculate
Quantities routine after you Receive Purchase Orders. See Tutorial for details.
