Receiving Processes- Oracle

The Receiving Division is responsible for the handling custody of materials from the
time it is received, until it has been delivered to its ultimate users in AUB, AUBMC, or
AREC.

The Receiving process involves receiving Local and Foreign orders for all Stores
(catalogued items) and Departments (non-catalogued items) in AUB and AUBMC.

Receiving Non-Catalogued Purchases

• The vendor arrives at the Receiving area and informs the Receiving Clerk about
the PO number to which the delivery is being made.
• The Receiving Clerk prints a Traveler Receipt (New naming is P.O. Items to be
received) Form which is supposed to reflect the P.O. without Qty and Price.
• The Receiving Clerk checks and inspects the received items, record the quantity
received on the Traveler Receipt, signs the traveler Receipt and calls the Grounds
and Transfer Services Department to deliver the items to the concerned
departments.( prepares a log for orders that were handed to the transporters)

• The Receiving Clerk enters the received items to the Oracle module after
receiving back the Traveler Receipt signed by the requesting department.

Receiving Catalogued Purchases

• The same process that mentioned above is done for receiving Inventory Items
except that the Receiving of Catalogued Purchases is completely received on
Oracle Inventory as 2 steps Receive & Deliver.
• The Receiving Clerk makes the first step (Receive) on Oracle before delivering
the items to stores while the Dispatcher at the Stores makes the second
step(Deliver or Receiving Transaction) on Oracle after receiving the documents(
Traveler Receipt) signed by the Storekeeper .

Receiving Foreign Catalogued & Non Catalogued Purchases

Only Foreign orders are received and delivered as is without unpacking the received
shipment. The Receiving Clerk in our Customs & Clearance section checks the packed
item received against purchase order and shipping documents (packing list and summary
invoice) of the shipment.

The Receiving Clerk enters the received items to the Oracle module after receiving back
the Traveler Receipt or the Purchase Order signed by the requesting department.
Return to vendor

The return to vendor is used only if the item is physically returned to vendor.

On system Returns are done in two steps only for Inventory Items. The first step is to
return goods from Store to Receiving and the second step is to return goods from
Receiving location to the vendor.

Correction
The Receiving Clerk and/or dispatcher will use the Correction Function in Oracle to
correct wrongly received/delivered items due to Typing error or PO correction. This
function is an alternative of using the Return to vendor process.
