When and How to Receive Waste

B
Written by Brayden Woods

Receivals confirm incoming waste from collection runs and update inventory.

When you can create a receival

  • After a run is completed and tasks have collected waste

  • One receival per run

  • Typically done soon after collection (before closing jobs)

How to create a receival

  1. Go to Receivals or Run Details → Receive Items

  2. Select the run

  3. Review collected waste items (and which task they came from)

  4. Confirm or adjust quantities and units

  5. Manage discrepancies (if needed)

  6. Assign sorting groups (if required)

  7. Submit receival

Count items (parent items)

If the manifest includes “5 drums”, you’ll enter quantities per drum. The system creates child waste items for each unit.

Discrepancies

Not collected:

  • Mark items as not collected

  • Removes them from the task

  • Records the discrepancy

Found but not on the manifest:

  • Add an item during receival

  • Enter waste code, quantity, unit, description

  • Item is added to the job

What happens after receival

  • Waste items become received and quantity-verified

  • Quantities lock to receival amounts

  • Tasks/runs/jobs progress to completed where applicable

  • Inventory increases via COLLECTION_ACTUAL transaction

  • Receival record becomes permanent (cannot be edited/deleted)

Validation rules

  • Waste codes must be valid for the site

  • Quantities must be positive

  • Items must belong to tasks in that run

  • Duplicate receivals for the same run are not allowed
