a purchase order
an inbound transfer of items to the warehouse from another warehouse
an expected return of items from a customer
an expected exchange of items from a customer

Internal Purchase Order Line Receipts

Not all internal purchase order lines can be received. This is because some line record types are used to record costs, charges or services that are not delivered. For instance, the logistics record type is used for purchase order lines where there is a cost associated with a specific item or items, but the cost in isolation is not a deliverable and can't be received.

The following table shows which of the purchase order line record types require a receipt:

Purchase Order Line Record Type	Description	Receipt Required
Blanket Order	This is a line that is based on an existing agreement with the supplier.	Yes
Capital Equipment	This type of line item is used to purchase capital equipment. The incoming equipment goes through a receiving process, but it does not become part of inventory.	Yes
Contractor	This purchase order line type is used to purchase a contract type service. For example, software licensing, advertising, repair services or another service required by your company. Contractor purchase order lines do not require a receipt as services are not received into warehouses.	No
Description	This type of purchase order line is used to buy something based on a description. This is usually for an item that has no item master set up or an item that will not become part of your capital equipment portfolio. This type of item will be consumed or utilized by your organization and won't be subject to depreciation. This line type can be received as required. Description lines can be received either by quantity or amount.	No Note: This type of purchase order lines can be received although they do not require a receipt.
Item	A purchase order line to purchase goods or services that have an item master set up.	Yes
Logistics	This type of line is used to enter a purchase cost incurred in association with a specific item or items. Items must be allocated to the line.	No
Misc. Charge	This line is used when miscellaneous charges are applicable (e.g., special handling charge for refrigeration, fuel excess fees). They should be created as a separate line item on the purchase order.	No
On-Site Service	This type of line is used for costs of service performed by a service provider on-site. Not to be used when an item is sent out for service or when service is done by internal personnel.	No
Service	This type of line is used for service type purchase orders, where one or more items are shipped out for a service and received back into inventory following the service.	Yes

Notes:

A return material authorization must exist before you can create a receipt for an item that is being returned or exchanged.
We do not recommend deleting receipt lines. To prevent potential issues with your receipts, we recommend that you reverse your receipt lines instead.
Printing is not supported for CRET receipts.

Amount-Based Receiving for Description Purchase Order Lines

Unlike other purchase order line types which can only be received by quantity, purchase order line items of type "Description" can be received either by quantity or amount. Amount-based receiving enables you to receive based on the value of the goods or services being purchased.

When a description purchase order line is received by amount, both the Amount and Quantity fields on the related receipt line are populated. Many related SCM processes are quantity- based, so once you provide a receiving amount for the purchase order line when creating the receipt, we also calculate the quantity in order to ensure all these processes work consistently and accurately. The Quantity field is calculated by dividing the received amount by the unit cost indicated on the purchase order line. For example, if you have a description purchase order line with a unit cost of 10 and you are receiving an amount of 150 for this purchase order line, the Quantity field on the receipt line will have a value of 15.
