Materials ListThis section pulls items that have a value of greater than 0 in the For Receiving Quantity from the Work Order Materials record.

Make sure that the proper form access settings are enabled to each user. You can check and edit the form’s Access Settings.


Instructions:



When the materials arrive, they are received by the Warehouse to confirm receipt and conduct an initial inspection of the materials. The receiver can either manually select the corresponding PO or use the QR/Barcode scanner to scan the PO Code and populate the list of materials that are expected from the delivery.

The process of receiving materials on Steer is as follows:

Head to the Site Materials module (Project Sidebar > Site Materials) and select Materials Receiving.
