Create Goods Receipts

Adding a receipt header

  • Navigate to ‘Goods Receipts’
  • Using the Actions ‘Add Goods Receipt’
  • The Goods Receipt can be created for a purchase orders or multiple orders received from a single supplier. Select the supplier option and then search for an account (supplier)
  • The subject is optional, it may make it easier to identify the receipt when searching.
  • If the location is left blank the product will be received into its default location (held against the product).
  • The delivery refence should be entered, making matching of the invoice easier, later in the process.
  • The date will default to today but may be modified. The date entered will be the posting date to the general ledger.
  • Save the goods receipt header.

Receiving Purchase Order Lines

  • User the Line actions to add items to the goods receipt.
  • All outstanding purchased items from the selected supplier, or purchase order, will be available for receipt.
  • Select the line(s) requiring receipt.
  • The quantity, location, lot number and supplier lot number can be modified by Editing the receipt line.
  • If the lot number is not modified, it will default to the Goods Receipt code with a suffix of the line on the receipt.
  • The receipt can be under or over the quantity ordered.
  • Additional lines can be added to the receipt whilst it is in a Draft status.
  • It is good practice to attach the deliver note, as a scanned document, to the goods receipt. Certificates of conformity, or other documentation can be added to individual receipt lines.
  • On completion of the goods receipt, it must be Finalised to make the stock available. After finalising the goods receipt cannot be amended.
