Can more than one person do the receiving at the same time?
Yes. When using the Pocket PC option receivers can load different purchase orders on to several Pocket PCs in batches and receive simultaneously. Purchase Order Verification can also be loaded on more than one PC with corded scanners to do receiving simultaneously. A combination of the above is also possible.

How can I find out what vendor sold me a particular serial number or lot number?
When you install the optional Verification database it keeps track of additional item information such as serial and lot numbers logged by Purchase Order Verification, Sales Order Verification and Invoice Verification together in one place. You can query to search by serial number, vendor, customer and/or transaction number. Corresponding QuickBooks transactions associated with the search criteria can be opened from the search results.

When I receive using Purchase Order Verification, does it receive the inventory directly into QuickBooks?
You have three options to configure Purchase Order Verification to report what is scanned by the receivers. It can either print a report of scanned items, send a note to the QuickBooks' ToDo list notifying what was scanned, for which transaction number, when, and by whom or you can have Purchase Order Verification create an Item Receipt in QuickBooks reflecting what was scanned per vendor. The level of effect your receivers will have on your inventory and accounting is up to you.

Does QuickBooks need to be open and running on the computers in the receiving area? I don't want my receivers to have access to QuickBooks.
No, QuickBooks does not have to be running to use our Verification software. However, for the initial set up and configuration of Purchase Order Verification QuickBooks does need to be open and logged into Admin in Single User Mode to connect to the company file for the first time.
