Receiving New Serialized Resources

When you receive new serialized resources, APM creates units for each of the items received. For example, if 12 items are received, 12 new units are created. You can receive resource units on a purchase order or on a receipt transaction. When you receive new units, you must set the status of the new units to ‘Spare.’

Note: The purchase order line for the units must be charged to the warehouse that will be stocking the units. If it is not charged to a warehouse, the system will not create new units when you receive the purchase order.

Note: If the tools were purchased from purchase order based on a manual requisition, they will not be received into inventory and units will not be created.

For more information on receiving purchase order lines, please see Receiving Purchase Orders and Blanket Releases.
