Inventory Receipts

Inventory Receipts

Purpose and when to use this record

Record what actually arrived against a purchase order, including partial receipts, quantities, costs, and warehouse destination.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Status, Date Created, and Vendor Invoice #.

  • Check its business context: Vendor, Warehouse, Freight Vendor, and Purchase Order.

  • Why care: Warehouse, item, unit, quantity, and cost must describe the same physical movement. A wrong warehouse or unit can make availability and valuation misleading.

  • Why care: Treat posted, processed, paid, reversed, and edit-locked states as controls—not ordinary descriptive fields. Confirm the source transaction before changing any state that the screen permits you to change.

  • Why care: Status communicates workflow progress to other staff. Change it only when the underlying work, approval, payment, or handoff has actually occurred.

Edit an existing Inventory Receipt

Edit this Inventory Receipt to correct or complete the same source document or operational event; use the supported reversal or follow-up workflow when the business event itself changed.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare Vendor, Warehouse, Freight Vendor, and Purchase Order with the supporting document or approved request.

  2. Recheck Status, Vendor, Warehouse, Date Created, Vendor Invoice #, and Edit Locked, plus the remaining screen fields. These values are most likely to change warehouse availability, replenishment, quantities, and valuation.

  3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Inventory Receipt now appears under the expected Status, and Edit Locked.

After the change: Verify on-hand inventory and the purchase order’s remaining quantity, then use the receipt when matching the vendor invoice.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record saved but is not available where expected: Recheck Status, and Edit Locked, then clear the filters on the destination list. A saved record can still be inactive, unpublished, locked, unapproved, or in the wrong workflow state.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Vendor, Warehouse, Freight Vendor, and Purchase Order from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
