Receiving Containers from Overseas

Our agreement with our Chinese vendors is we own the merchandise once it hits the docks in Shanghai. At that point they send us an invoice which we need to book so (1) the dollars show up in our A/P aging, and (2) we record the inventory. As I understand the container function, EPICOR bundles all the PO's into a container but doesn't receive them into inventory.

How are you usng the container function? How do you receive the inventory? We've talked about receiving into a "Intransit" location but are concerned that once the product arrives at our warehouse we'll have to move material one item at a time. Is there an easy way to receive into "Intransit" and then into "Our Warehouse"?

I'm looking for an efficient method to perform a multi-step process.
