If the Current PO # field is empty, the system receives the first instance of that SKU found in the Expected Items list.

If you scan or enter an item that is not in the current list of Expected Items, but is present in SEOM’s inventory, and it is assigned to the current supplier, the program will ask if you want to receive that item even though it is not expected.
