Description Enter a description for this container.
ETA Date Enter the estimated date of arrival for the container.
Co Code Enter the company associated with this container receipt. The company code must be pre-defined in the CO.CONTROL procedure. If only one company code exists it will automatically be inserted into this procedure for you.
Plan Group Enter the planning group associated with this container receipt. This field will be verified against the planning group(s) entered in PLAN.CONTROL . If you have only one planning group this field will be defaulted and skipped. This field will be used to default the inventory location in the line items if purchase orders are created.

When the container is physically received this should be changed to "R" and the data should be verified for accuracy with the actual container. When data has been verified, the status should be changed to "C", which will add PO receipt records and cause inventory transactions to occur. After the receipts posting process, the AP records are created and the status will be "P".
