Why

Stock, cost and the order's state should change the moment a delivery is counted.

What

A receipt books what arrived against a purchase order and posts it to stock in one step.

How

Choose Receive on the order, or find the order number at /app/scan, then post the receipt.

From the order

1. 1
   Step 1.

   Open the purchase order and choose Receive. Every outstanding line is listed, defaulted to what is outstanding.

2. 2
   Step 2.

   Enter what arrived under Received and the Delivery note reference. Enter anything refused under Rejected with a Reject reason. With more than one location, pick the Stock location.

3. 3
   Step 3.

   Choose Post receipt.

At the scan station

With Source on, the Scan station at /app/scan carries a Receive panel (the Scan station comes with Stock, Route, Service Centre or Machinist, not with Source alone): type or scan the Purchase order number, choose Find, enter the quantities and choose Post receipt. The station shows quantities only: no unit price, line total or order value.

What posting does

• Checks each line against what is outstanding. Receiving more than is outstanding is refused unless Over receipt allowed, per cent in the Source settings gives a margin.
• Mints a lot code per received line, so the batch can be traced.
• Writes a receipt movement through the one stock writer, carrying the landed unit cost.
• Updates the received quantity, the order's state and the on order figure.

Either all of it happens or none of it does.

Where it lands

At the location picked on the receipt, otherwise the order's Ship to, otherwise the organisation's default location. The movement is written whether Stock is on or off, so a workspace that switches Stock on later finds its goods in history already on the ledger. See Movements and the ledger.
