Do I still need to create the warehouse receipt in Business Central?

Yes. Business Central remains the system of record: you create the warehouse receipt from the purchase or transfer order and Plur-e reads it on the device. Posting can be done from the phone.

What happens with serialized items?

Plur-e asks you to scan each serial. Every scan is counted and listed so you can verify it, remove one if needed and send the whole set to Business Central. Serials that already exist on the order are only confirmed.

Can I receive one order across several people or devices?

Each warehouse receipt is assigned to a warehouse user in Business Central. VALIDAR: concurrent receiving of the same document from multiple devices.

Quick answer

Plur-e Receiving lets warehouse staff open a Business Central warehouse receipt on an Android device, scan the items, capture serial and lot numbers one by one, review the item tracking setup, post the receipt and continue into put-away — online or offline. Serial numbers preloaded from the purchase or transfer order are confirmed without rescanning.

Receiving on paper means counting twice

Goods arrive, someone writes quantities on the packing slip, someone else types them into Business Central hours later. Serialized items get transcribed by hand. Plur-e removes the second step: the receipt is posted from the dock, with the serials already captured.

How it works

Receiving: how it works

Create the warehouse receipt in Business Central
From the purchase or transfer order, choose Create Warehouse Receipt and assign the warehouse user. The document appears in Plur-e for that user.
Open Warehouse Receipt in Plur-e Mobile
Select the receipt from the list. Items without tracking are received by scanning and entering the quantity.
Scan serial numbers individually
For serialized items, each scan counts and lists the serial. Tap the “?” icon to see how the item is tracked; select and delete a serial to correct a mistake.
Confirm preloaded serials
If the order already carries serial numbers, review them on screen and confirm — no rescan needed.
Post, then decide on put-away
Tap Post to register the receipt in Business Central. Plur-e asks whether to continue with put-away right away.
