Quick Receipts

Quick Receipts

Quick Receipts uses background processing to create receipts and route the Receipt business process.

Split Purchase Order Lines

When a worker enters a quantity or amount on a split purchase order line, Quick Receipts displays the line as a single row. Workday distributes the entered value across the underlying splits using the same logic as the
Create Receipt
task. Workers can't change split quantities or percentages in Quick Receipts.

Create Receipt My Tasks

After Workday successfully receives a line through Quick Receipts, it removes related
Create Receipt
My Tasks items that the
Purchase Order
,
Supplier Invoice
, or
Supplier Accounts Match Event
business processes initiated. Workday removes these tasks to prevent duplicate receipts.
To audit this behavior, open process history for the related business process. Workday displays Manually Skipped status and the comment Processed through Quick Receipts or Scheduled Receiving task.
Workday doesn't remove related My Tasks notifications for receipts in
Draft
status.

Background Processing

Workday processes quick receipts submissions in the background, grouping items for the same purchase order to the one receipt.
When multiple workers submit Quick Receipts at the same time, Workday queues the runs and processes them sequentially. If a job is interrupted, Workday restarts it so it doesn't create duplicate receipts.
In high-volume tenants, stagger other high-volume background jobs during peak receiving periods to prevent delayed Quick Receipts processing.

Delegation

Workday supports delegation for self-service users. A delegated worker can switch accounts to receive on behalf of the requester. The receipt displays the worker who processed the transaction.

Home Page Cards

Workers see Home Page Updates when your tenant publishes the cards on the
Home Cards Workspace
report.

Quick Receipts Card

The Quick Receipts card is secured to the
Quick Receipts
task through security groups on the
Initiate
action of the Receipt business process. Workday displays the
Home Page Updates
n when you publish the card and purchase order lines are eligible for receiving.

Draft Receipts Card

Draft Receipts card: secured to the
Manage My Receipts
task through security groups on the
Self-Service: Receipt
domain. Workday displays the
Home Page Updates
when you publish the card and receipts that the worker created, or that were created for the worker, are in
Draft
status.
