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.

Quick Steps

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 on screen to open it. 

3. Select Sort and Seg.

Review the inbound details to confirm this is the correct delivery and then select the Standard Receiving option. If you wish to review what Sort and Seg is and when it should be used, select on the information icon to the right.

4. Review the Pre-Sort Layout and edit if needed.

Review the number of Pre-Sort areas selected. If more or less areas are needed, select the Edit Pre-Sort Layout option in the menu(three vertical dots). Add or remove areas using the - and + options, then select Next. Review the changes and select Confirm Layout.

Note: Once receiving starts, areas cannot be removed, only added. For more on Pre-Sort Area Layouts see Pre-Sort Areas.

5. Scan the inbound staging location. 

Once your pre-sort layout is correct, scan the inbound staging location you are sorting goods from.

6. Scan a SKU and move it to the Pre-Sort Area.

Scan a SKU and move it to the Pre-Sort Area shown on the mobile device. After 30 seconds the screen will move back to the Scan a SKU page. 

Repeat until all SKUs are sorted into their pre-sort areas.

7. Build pallets.

As SKUs are sorted, build single SKU pallets of each SKU. Once all SKUs are sorted, proceed to the next step. 

8. Apply a Flexe LPN label to a pallet and scan.

9. 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.  

10. Enter the quantity of items on the pallet.

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

11. Review and confirm the LPN. 

Verify that all information is correct and select 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. 

12. 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.
