TechBuy - Receiving

The receiving receipt feature allows you to enter receiving in TechBuy. All receiving information for TechBuy purchase orders must be submitted through the TechBuy receiving process. All orders must be received, no matter the vendor or type of order, except Direct Pay Orders. For additional information on required receiving, please review HSC OP 72.09.

As a general rule, the correct method of Receiving in TechBuy can be determined by the lines on the Purchase Order. If a Purchase Order is set up as each (EA), month (MON), or itemized at a fixed amount, a Quantity Receipt should be completed. If a Purchase Order is set up as a lot (LOT), job (JA), or Standing Order and the number of items or cost is not defined, or if the Purchase Order is a Standing Order that will be invoiced as items or services are provided, a Cost Receipt should be completed.

To create a receiving receipt, first, locate the purchase order.

There are several ways to search for the Purchase Order (PO) using Document Search from the Orders menu navigation located on the TechBuy shopping home page:

  • View your purchase orders from My Orders listed under My Purchase Orders.
  • Search by requisition number from My Orders, then My Requisitions.
  • Search for the purchase order or requisition number from the Search icon.

For this example, click My Orders and My Purchase Orders.

The My Purchase Orders page displays. Once you have located the appropriate Purchase Order, click the PO Number link in the PO Number column to display the PO.
