# Receipts

> Understand how receipts document material inflows from suppliers or customers.

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

| Type | Use |
| - | - |
| Supplier | Receive material supplied by a supplier, usually related to a purchase. |
| Customer | Record material arriving from a customer. |

You can create the receipt from a related document or enter it manually, but it always retains one of these two types.

<Info>
  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.

| Data | Why it matters |
| - | - |
| Source | Identifies the supplier or customer the material comes from. |
| Item and quantity | Define what comes in and in what quantity. |
| Location | Indicates where the inflow is recorded. |
| Lot | Preserves traceability when applicable. |
| Checks | Record configured inspections before completing the receipt. |

Mandatory checks must be completed before receiving. Checks configured as optional do not block the receipt.

## Statuses and rules

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pending** | You can edit the document before recording the inflow. |
| **Received** | The inflow has increased stock, and the document is protected. |

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.
