Receiving
Receiving is done through iProcurement for services and goods not sent through the Store
(or where the store is unable to identify the goods). Receiving is important as it does a
number of things in the system, specifically it:
1. Tells Oracle the invoice is approved for payment
2. Recognises costs in the Finance ledger
34. Click on the “Receiving” tab.
35. Search Attribute “Find by Order Number” Enter Search Value “PO # (i.e. 353730)”
Click “GO” or simply select the order from your Requisitions to Receive List.

23 | P a g e
Note Receipt Quantity / Amount Unit is the amount or quantity that still remains to be
receipted. Never receipt a zero quantity, zero means the purchase order has already
been receipted and there is no remaining quantity or amount to be received.
Only receipt what has been received, overwrite the quantity and change the amount to the
received amount e.g. there remains to be 68.61 on this purchase order, however if you only
received or wish to receipt 28.61 then update the amount / quantity you are about to receipt.

24 | P a g e
36. “Select” and then change the value / quantity to the amount you want to receipt the
goods for.
Then click “Next”
Tips:
1. Be careful to check the amount you are receiving matches the invoice, or you may
overstate your costs in the Finance system or accidentally approve a payment.
2. You cannot receipt more than what is on the Purchase Order. If you need to increase
the value of your requisition/Purchase order, please refer to the “Change Requisitions”
section in this manual
37. Invoice or Packing Slip References to be entered in the “Packing Slip” Field or the
“Receipt Comments” Field. Then “Click Next”
Below view is when receipting a requisition based on ‘Item Type’ - ‘Goods or services

Below view is when receipting a requisition based on ‘Item Type’ - ‘Goods billed by
quantity’
- Enter in the ‘Packing Slip’ reference and include an additional comment i.e. Invoice
reference in the ‘Receipt Comments’ field. Then Click “Next”
38. Before Submitting your receipt request check that the Receipted Quantity / Amount is
what you wish to receipt. Then Click “Submit”

26 | P a g e
39. A Confirmation will appear with your receipt number and details of what you have
receipted. I.e. Receipt: 408638 as displayed below.
Confirm Receipt Notification
The preparer of a requisition will be notified with a ‘Confirm Receipt Notification’ or an email
from the Accounts Payables Receipt on Hold workflow.
This notification informs the preparer that Accounts Payables has matched an invoice to a
Purchase Order but the invoice cannot be paid as the Purchase Order has not been
receipted. This process runs nightly so you will normally receive these notifications at the
start of the day.
Note: For urgent payments, Emails may also be sent directly from an Accounts
Payables Staff Member.
Click on ‘Go to Receiving’ and follow steps of Receiving stating on page 25 (Steps 1-6)

27 | P a g e
Return Items
If you need to send items back to the supplier you should use Return Items
Select Return Items and the following search criteria is displayed. Clear the form
and then enter the Purchase Order Number
Select
If you are returning the goods you need to type the quantity you wish to return

28 | P a g e
You will need to select a Reason from the list and then select the Radio button which applies
to the individual circumstances.
You will receive Confirmation that the returns have been submitted
Correct Receipts
If you have recorded the wrong receipt quantity should use Correct Receipts
Select Correct Receipts and the following search criteria is displayed. Clear the form
and then enter the Purchase Order Number
Select
The details of the Receipt are displayed, check the value you wish to correct

29 | P a g e
To correct the value of the receipted you have to type the ACTUAL value that the receipt
should have been for. In this example – each line was receipted for 0.05 but only half of the
shipment was received so one line should not have been receipted. After checking which
line is incorrect type the correct amount in the field (In this instance “0” (zero)
Check if the detail is correct
The select submit
You will notice a Confirmation at the corrections have been submitted
If you requery the Purchase Order in the Receiving form, you will notice that there is still a portion of
the Purchase Order to be receipted.

30 | P a g e
Change Requisitions
If you need to modify your requisition, changes to Requisitions can be made at any
stage provided the requisition is not cancelled. Depending on where abouts in the
process your requisition, some fields cannot be changed.
Note: Requisition Changes can be made via the Create Requisition or the Requisition
Inquiry Tabs.
1. Click on the “Create Requisition” tab or the “Requisition Inquiry” tab, then select the
requisition you wish to make a change to using the Change option
2. If your requisition has been approved but not placed on a purchase order, a Warning
note will appear. Click ‘Yes’

31 | P a g e
3. Apply the changes that need to be updated i.e. incorrect cost code or Price. Click
Checkout
4. Select a line before performing an update, copy or delete action. Then Click “Edit
Lines” or “Update”
5. Make the necessary changes then Click “Apply”
6. Once all Changes have been finalised Click “Submit”
If your requisition is already on a Purchase Order, the process is the same except that:
1. Only the amount, quantity or price can be changed – you cannot change the GL
account or requestor. If you need to do this please contact Purchasing and organise to
have the Purchase Order cancelled.
2. Change requisitions will go through the normal financial approval and then to the
buyer to verify before the Purchase Order is updated. You will receive a notification
when the change has been approved.
3. The workflow within the procure to pay process has been changed and this means a
change to the way “invoices on hold” will be actioned.

32 | P a g e
a. Invoices entered into Accounts Payable where the Purchase Order has not been
received (or received enough),the invoice approval will start a workflow and notify
the requester that they need to receipt the Purchase Order (receipt can be done by
clicking a link). Once the Purchase Order is receipted and the hold will be released
automatically.
b. If the invoice is matched to a Purchase Orders and it is more than the Purchase
Order, the invoice will go on to a quantity or amount hold. The requester will not
get a notification. Accounts Payable will let the requested know that they have to
raise a CHANGE REQUISITION. This means the Requisitioner will have to
navigate to the Requisition and follow the work instruction in Change Requisition
above. Once the PO is updated the requester can receipt the additional quantity
or amount and the hold will be released.
c. If an invoice goes to Accounts Payable and the invoice PRICE is higher than the
Purchase Order, a number of steps need to be followed:
 Accounts Payable will have to reverse the match to the invoice
 The Requester will need to reverse the receipts and then do a
Change Requisition.
 Once the buyer has approved the update to the PO, The requisitioner
will be able to receipt the correct price and Accounts Payable will be
able to rematch the invoice to the purchase order and then approve
for payment.
