Receipt of Goods



When your supplier has received your purchase order and delivered the products, you can Register a Receipt of goods in the program. A product does not need to be a stock item to register a receipt of goods, but if it is going to update stock it must be a stock item and Update stock must be selected in from the Warehouse tab.

You can also select whether a Receipt note is to be printed at Receipt of goods/Crediting a purchase. The selection is made in the Warehouse tab in Company settings for Product.

You can also select whether the report Orders that can be delivered is to be printed out when registering the receipt of goods. The report shows orders that can be delivered that are related to the receipt of goods. The selection is made through the Company setting for purchase.

You can register a receipt of goods from the purchase window. The purchase will be registered with the status "Purchased" before the goods have been received. You can also register receipt of goods from the warehouse module, by clicking the Non-Received Purchases button.
