Has anyone else had a similar requirement? I need a confirmation that this has to be customized.

I have seen a possible fitting feature however I am not sure if it is something I could use without an unwanted impact.

Use automatic number sequence to generate product receipts

The Vendor's Packing Slip number is useful during Invoice Matching, particularly when a PO is received across multiple deliveries and attracts multiple invoices.

There is no functionality to set the Product receipt number from a number sequence (although that is often asked for!).

If you are using the Warehouse module, and you are assigning your Purchase orders to Loads, there is functionality which allows the receiver to enter the Product receipt number. Its linked to this Capture receiving completed packing slip parameter:

If that might be useful, you can read more about it here:

Hi Phoenix,

The internal product receipt number is used for an internal unique sequence. It can also be used as posting voucher number.

For the external vendor packing slip number, there are indeed sometimes requirements to have it populated automatically. That can be solved with a customization to e.g. fill this field also with the same internal number or another sequence number. The Polish localization is not helping for your requirement.

Hi Andre,

it is a field Product receipt that is manually entered upon product receipt posting.

I understand that it is expected to enter Vendor packing slip number for audit reasons, as suggested on Microsoft learn, however I have seen some discussions with a requirement to have it automatically populated.

I have shared Polish localization as it sounds like it might be suitable but I am not implementing this in Poland. (not sure if I can use it in another country either, as I have little experience with localizations)

Is this something that would have to be customized/developed, I just wanted to confirm it?

What would be the use of internal product receipt as I have not managed to find a good explanation.

Kind regards,

Hi Phoenix,

Can you explain what is your exact requirement and what is the country for your legal entity? You shared a link for a Polish localization to set up internal product receipt numbers per warehouse. Do you need a specific number per warehouse? The number sequence for internal product numbers is available for all countries, but without the option to differentiate between warehouse.
