About Receivers

A receiver is an item or a package received from a vendor. Each receiver contains the serials/lots that you can assign and inspect using the Receiving Inspection application.

A receiver number is always unique. A single receiver can contain serials/lots of multiple materials. When a receiver is received, a production event is created in Plant Applications for each serial/lot in the material lot in the receiver. These production events are assigned a temporary name, which you can change based on the traceability that you want to maintain before generating samples. They are linked to the receiver via the event component (genealogy) records.
