Use the steps below if the inbound you are receiving does not need to be sorted using the Flexe device. For more information on recommended use of Sort & Seg vs Standard Receiving see When to Use Sort & Seg Receiving.

If the inbound you are receiving needs to be sorted with the Flexe device proceed to Sort & Seg Receiving.

⚠️ Before you start 

Prior to beginning the mobile receiving process the inbound should be confirmed, LPN labels and receiving lists printed. 

To learn more go to Confirming LPN Deliveries and Preparing for LPN Deliveries.

Detailed Steps

1. Select Receive from the home screen.
     

2. Scan the delivery barcode or enter the PO number. 

Scan the barcode at the top right corner of your receiving list. You can also scan or manually enter the purchase order (PO) number for the delivery. Select the delivery once it shows onscreen to open it. 

3. Verify the Inbound ID
4. Scan the inbound staging location. 

Scan the inbound staging location where you'll be receiving the inbound goods. 

5. Apply and scan the LPN.

Apply a Flexe LPN label to a pallet and scan the LPN barcode with the mobile device. 

Note: It's best to apply labels to pallets as they are received, to avoid scanning errors. 

For pre-labeled LPNs

For inventory with LPN labels already applied by the shipper, you may be able to scan the label. Once scanned, verify that the label matches all the information on screen. Then select Confirm, as outlined in step 8 below.

6. Scan the SKU.

Scan the SKU or UPC barcode for the item on the pallet. 

Note: These barcodes are also on the receiving list, if you need to scan from there instead.  

7. Enter the quantity of items on the pallet and select the check mark. 

If required, you'll also be prompted to enter the expiration date and/or lot code.

8. Review and confirm the LPN. 

Once you've entered everything, verify that all information is correct and select Confirm. Once you confirm, you'll see a notification onscreen that the LPN was stored successfully.  

Note: You can select Cancel if you scanned the wrong LPN, or if you'd like to continue with a different LPN. Or select the back arrow to re-do the previous step.

9. Return to the home screen once everything is received. 

Repeat these steps until you've added all the LPNs/pallets from the inbound delivery. When you're done, select Back in the bottom navigation menu to return to the Flexe home screen. 

The rest of the receiving process is completed on the Flexe web platform.
