Definition
information content entity that describes a logistics receiving process and its participants and that is created as an output of the appraisal process, part of that same logistics receiving process, in which the received material entities are assessed
Explanatory Notes
-
A goods receipt records what was received and in what condition; its content — counts, condition, discrepancies — is generated by the appraisal part of the receiving process, which is why its provenance is the appraisal rather than the receiving process as a whole. This tracks EDI 861 and the OAGIS Receive Delivery noun, both of which carry discrepancy and condition data.
-
Provenance is part of what makes something a goods receipt: a record that describes a real logistics receiving process but was not produced by its appraisal part is not a goods receipt.
-
The OWL axiom carries only the ‘describes’ condition. The requirements that the receipt be output of the appraisal part and that this part belong to the described process are expressed in the first-order axiom through the shared variables p and q; separate OWL existentials could not bind them.
-
A goods receipt entered into a system some time after the appraisal still counts as its output, provided the recording falls within the receiving process’s temporal extent.
Examples
- the goods receipt posted in an ERP system when a warehouse has counted and inspected a delivery against the advance shipment notice; the receiving record raised by a plant on verifying a steel coil delivery against purchase order line items, including any discrepancy or damage noted
Counter-Examples
- an advance shipment notice (ASN, prescribes what is to arrive; does not describe a receiving); a dock camera photograph of the delivery (describes the receiving but is not output of the appraisal); a receiving record keyed in for goods that were signed for without inspection (no logistics receiving process to describe); a forged receipt describing a real receiving process (not output of its appraisal part)

- ANSI X12 EDI 861 (Receiving Advice/Acceptance Certificate); OAGIS Receive Delivery
Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
Sufficient conditions are not available for two reasons: receiving logs, dock photographs and inspection worknotes may describe the same logistics receiving process without being goods receipts; and the co-reference of the described process, the producing appraisal and its parthood is expressible only in first-order logic, so the OWL conditions are necessarily partial.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
GoodsReceipt(x) → InformationContentEntity(x) ∧ ∃p∃q (LogisticsReceivingProcess(p) ∧ AppraisalProcess(q) ∧ occurrentPartOf(q,p) ∧ describes(x,p) ∧ isOutputOf(x,q) ∧ ∃s (RequirementSpecification(s) ∧ hasInput(q,s)) ∧ ∃m ((MaterialProduct(m) ∨ RawMaterial(m) ∨ MaterialComponent(m) ∨ MaterialArtifact(m)) ∧ hasInput(q,m) ∧ participatesInAtSomeTime(m,p)))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘goods receipt’ then x is an ‘information content entity’ that ‘describes’ some ‘logistics receiving process’ p, and x is ‘output of’ some ‘appraisal process’ q that is ‘occurrent part of’ p and ‘has input’ some ‘requirement specification’ and ‘has input’ some ‘material product’ or ‘raw material’ or ‘material component’ or ‘material artifact’ that ‘participates in at some time’ p
