Receive purchases and return goods

Purchasing records goods actually received from a supplier. It can follow an approved purchase order or record a direct purchase.

Receive goods

1. Open Inventory › Purchasing, or choose Create Purchasing from an approved purchase order.
2. Check supplier and receiving location.
3. Add linked items and enter actual quantities and unit costs.
4. Review invoice tax and additional cost.
5. Save and complete the purchasing submission.

Return goods

Open the original posted purchase and choose Return Items. Enter quantities actually returned. Cumulative returns cannot exceed the original purchase, and return prices retain the original storage-unit basis.

Before posting, check the location, item unit and document status. A saved draft and a posted movement have different effects. Review the resulting stock and inventory history after completion, and keep the reference when investigating a difference. Use a new corrective document when a posted record cannot be edited.
