Root cause
Work through these, most likely first:
- the receiver is working in a different inventory organization from the one the order ships to;
- the order, or the schedule being received, is not approved and open;
- the line is a service line: Oracle has documented that service-based orders cannot be received from the central receiving pages;
- the order has an expense destination: people report these cannot be found in Receive Expected Shipments but can be received from My Receipts when the order has a requester.
How to fix it
- Open the order and read the schedule: ship-to organization, destination type (inventory or expense) and line type (goods or services).
- Confirm the receiver has selected the same inventory organization as the schedule’s ship-to organization.
- Confirm the order is approved, open, and that the schedule is not already fully received.
- For service lines and expense orders with a requester, receive from My Receipts instead.
Where to go in Fusion
- Inventory Management, Receive Expected Shipments
- Purchase Orders, Manage Orders (schedule details)
- Self-service: My Receipts
