Nonconforming goods are denoted by the reject stub out of process 3.1. Notation of rejected goods is added to the vendor service record in the vendor master data. After the count and condition of the goods has been obtained, process 3.1 completes the receiving report by noting the quantity received. Once annotated with the quantity received, the PO receiving notification becomes a receiving report, which is the document used to record merchandise receipts.
