The receiving process allows users to scan boxes to mark them as received. Roles enabled to perform this action:  Scanner.

• Change the position of a box. For this use option  5 (five) "Update Box Location".
• Return a box to inventory, for boxes previously invoiced and scanned as Shipped. For this use option 6 (six) "Return Boxes".

Info: It's important to clarify and emphasize that the option Return Boxes must be used on the scan gun when returning a box, which in some cases many companies don't keep in mind and simply return the box to the cooler without scanning it. This causes major issues when reconciling the inventory at the end of the day.
