When you click a request ID or title on the Select Request screen, Ariba Buyer assumes you want to create a new receipt, rather than edit an existing receipt. It automatically creates a new receipt ID for the selected request and displays the Receive Items screen. If you need to edit an existing receipt, click Select Receipt in the Navigation Panel to display the Select Receipt screen and then click the ID for the receipt you need to edit.

If you reject items, or receive items that require asset data, you must provide additional information.

If you are a milestone verifier, you can also use Explore Search on the Home page to find the milestone tracker (MT) to use to verify the milestone.

When receiving items listed on a global contract, you must receive in the partition in which the contract was created.

To receive goods or service items

1. Review the receipt details.

• To accept all items, click Accept All. The Summary screen is displayed to complete and submit the receipt for approval. This option is available only when receiving based on quantities; it is not available for amounts.
• To accept or reject some items, enter the accepted and rejected quantities or amounts, and the date received (as applicable).
• If you reject an item, enter a comment to explain the reason for rejection.
3. Click the Close Order Yes radio button to close the order to additional receipts. By default, the order is open.
4. Enter Comments for the entire receipt. Click Add Attachment to add an attachment to the receipt.
5. Click Submit to submit the receipt for approval (if you are a Central Receiver); otherwise, click Next to display the Summary screen to submit the receipt. In either case, you can click Exit to leave the receipt with a status of Composing so you can continue working on it later.
