A receipt documents a physical material inflow from a supplier or customer. Completing it increases stock for its lines in the specified location.

Receipt types

You can create the receipt from a related document or enter it manually, but it always retains one of these two types.
Finished production, co-products, stock counts and adjustments can also increase stock. Those changes belong to their respective processes and are not receipts.

Data and checks

A receipt must specify an item, quantity, location and lot when the item requires one. Mandatory checks must be completed before receiving. Checks configured as optional do not block the receipt.

Statuses and rules

To receive, the document must be pending, have a location and contain at least one line. After receiving, you cannot edit its lines or change its location. If you need to correct a completed receipt, use reversal when available. Reversal preserves the traceability of the original inflow.

Relationship with purchasing

A supplier receipt confirms the part of a purchase that has physically arrived. The purchase order explains the supplier commitment; the receipt explains the actual inflow.
