Receiving Shipments
A shipment that has been sent to a location can be marked as received by going to the Shipments page under Inventory -> Shipments in the top left navigation panel.
There are different ways to view shipments that are coming to a specific location, so once the arriving shipment has been located in the system, view its details.

The Shipment Header
The shippment heading contains the different actions that can be done on it depending on the shipment’s status.
The left side of the header will always show the following information about the shipment, regardless of the shipment’s status.
- Shipment Number
- Shipment Status
When the shipment has arrived, the receiving party can accept the shipment and apply the selected Status and Condition options for each shipment item.
To apply the selected Status and Condition options for each shipment item, click the Mark as Received button.
Uncompleting or Canceling Shipments
Shipments that have been uncompleted or canceled can have the action reversed and be completed again or un-canceled. You must have the Service Admin role for this feature to work.
Changing the Shipped By, Created By and Received By dates
Sometimes scenarios occur where a shipment cannot get completed when the physical items were actually shipped, therefore causing an asset’s history to be incorrect. To resolve these issues, shipments can have their Received By, Shipped By and Created By dates backdated.
To change a shipments Received By, Shipped By and Created By dates, click Edit next to the one you want to change.
Uncompleting Shipments With Spawns
When a shipment is completed, it can be configured to automatically generate a work order that should happen after a shipment is received. An example of this is normally a motor strapping work order is spawned after the motor is received on a job because it needs to be strapped before it can be put on a BHA and go downhole.
If a shipment that has a spawned work order is uncompleted and then completed again, a new version of that spawned work order will be created even if one already exist.
