The purchase receiving process has an issue. Mobile client brings the PO line to 'registered' - Nobody in warehouse or office is willing to go to each PO and individually click a "Product receipt" for the registered lines - Batch program in advanced warehousing exists to bring PO lines to "received" status using a LOAD number - So we can auto-create Loads for each PO via a parameter in Transportation - then the batch program , filtering on "inbound" and "open" load status could theoretically handle this.. all PO lines become "received" after being "registered" within a few minutes. But then we still have a Load in status 'received' which is not the final status. somebody will have to manually go to each Load (and we have one load per PO) and say "confirm inbound shipment".. and only then will the load be 'shipped' and disappear from the radar screen. No batch exists to "auto confirm inbound shipments". What can be done to streamline the PO receiving process in advanced warehousing? We would like to request a batch program that processes "registered" PO lines to "received" and also confirms the inbound shipment. There is no business added value to have that last step as a manual step

It really doesn't make sense to perform same work twice 1st on mobile and then in client. Most of the customers always push back. Extremely difficult to make customers understand why it is so :(

The load can be automatically confirmed via an audit policy template event.

I agree with Laurens van der Tang. It is important, that you can start the receiving on the mobile device for a given vendor product receipt ID. Stop the receiving, re-start it for the same ID and once completed. Declare it completed and let the product receipt update for all items registered under that ID.

Agree with this, but I have still one additional suggestion. In order to post the product receipt you have also to enter the delivery note number of the supplier. If you can enter it during registration in the warehousing app, that would be really helpful. Right now you have to enter in manually in Dynamics after registration with warehousing app, and then you can post the product receipt.
Solution idea:
- Add an option in the warehousing app to enter the delivery note number
- Save the entered delivery note number on the purchase order(line)
- When you run the batch process for the product receipt in Warehouse Management, D365 E.E should post the product receipt including the entered delivery note number + confirm inbound shipment

Just added a positive vote for this!

If you automatically post the Load then you lose the ability to add Transportation costs after receiving has taken place, which sometimes needs to be several days later when freight invoices are finally received.
I would suggest that the Received status should be a "final" status for inbound shipments and thus filtered from the overview.

Completely agree here - would gladly welcome this addition.
