# Receive Material

:lock: Material.**Receive**

## Overview

This operation is used to receive the **Material** that has been previously shipped from another **Facility**.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Material** exists, it is Active and In Transit.
* The **Material** is a TopMost **Material**.
* The InTransit To Facility **Material** is set to the **Facility** in which the **Material** is being received.
* In case of a Product Change, the **Product** that receives the **Material** exists, it is Active and Enabled.
* The new **Flow** of the **Material** exists, it is Active and Enabled.
* The new **Step** belongs to the new **Facility**.
* The new Flow Path is valid.
* The new **Step** must be different from the old **Material** **Step**, that is, the **Step** must change.
* There must not be any **Material** Time Constraint violated at the current context and transaction.
* For all the selected **Materials** to be shipped with a Material Package Count greater than zero, considering the complete hierarchy (consider only Active Packages) of all the **Packages** that reference those **Materials**, those **Packages** in their hierarchy must not include other **Materials**, and the Top-Level **Packages** must be in System State Closed.

!!! warning
	A **Material** can be received without changing the **Step** if it is shipped in state Queued and the **Step** belongs to the new **Facility**.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1: Material

1. Verify the **Material** information.
2. Specify (or validate) the new Flow Path in which the **Materials** will be received in the new **Facility**.

For Local Receive, you need to remember the following:

* If the current **Material Step** exists in the new **Facility**, the Flow Path will not change.
* If the current **Material Step** does not exist in the new **Facility** and there is only one next **Step** for the current **Material** Flow Path that exists in the new **Facility**, this **Step** is set as the new **Step**.
* If the current **Material Step** does not exist in the new **Facility** and there is no next **Step** that exists in the new **Facility**, but the default start Flow Path for the **Product** exists in the new **Facility**, this Flow Path will be the new one.
* If none of these conditions apply, the Flow Path will be empty.

### Step 2: Sub-Materials

1. Verify the **Sub-Material** information.
2. Specify (or validate) the new **Product** in which the **Sub-Materials** will be created in the new **Facility**.
3. Optionally, enter a comment.
4. Select **Receive** to complete the operation.
