Question:
We have a Central Receiving area and planning to utilize the "Receiving" module of BearBuy. Our Receivers" are also Shoppers. Will they be able to access orders/carts submitted by other shoppers in my Department or do they require a special role/access to do so.

Answer:
Anyone in BearBuy can receive, and there is no restriction on what Org Nodes or Purchase Orders they can receive against.

Question:
How can my receivers run a report that only shows Purchase Orders that haven’t been, or are only partially, received in my Org Node(s).

Answer
A ‘Document Search’ can be run to show Purchase Orders restricted to one or more Org Nodes.

  1. To Specify Org Nodes, go to Document Search > Advanced Search.
  2. Under Custom Fields > Org Node, specify the Org Node(s) that are needed.
  3. Next select the Receipt Status of the Purchase Order. To find all PO that with No Receipts and which are Partially Receive, select the following: No Receipts & Partially Received.
  4. Once complete, the user can use Save Results to keep this search accessible.
