# Receive a purchase order

> Record materials received from a purchase order and update stock and received quantities.

Receiving a purchase order creates a **receipt** linked to its lines. When you receive it, Bold increases stock and updates the order's received quantities.

<Info>
  You need read access to view receipts and edit access to create, receive, reverse, or complete inspections.
</Info>

A receipt can be complete or partial:

* **Complete receipt:** records all pending items and quantities on the order.
* **Partial receipt:** records a quantity smaller than requested. The line remains partially received and the rest stays pending.

## Create a receipt from the order

**Path:** **Planning > Purchase orders > Order > Create receipt**

### Complete the receipt

To record the arrival of goods, complete these fields:

**Delivery note code (optional):** enter the supplier's delivery document code.

**Date (optional):** enter the delivery note date.

**Receipt location (optional):** select where the material is deposited.

If you choose a location, you can leave **Receive immediately** enabled to create and receive the document in one action. If you disable it or do not enter a location, the receipt is created as pending. Review it before clicking **Receive**.

Click **Create** to generate the receipt with the order's pending lines.

## Create a partial receipt

**Path:** **Warehouse > Receipts**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a receipt">
    **Origin:** select the supplier you purchased from.

    **Delivery note number:** enter the number on the document provided by the carrier.

    **Delivery note date:** enter the date shown on the delivery document.

    **Receipt location:** select the physical place where the order is unloaded and stored, such as a warehouse, shelf, or factory area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the receipt">
    In the actions column, open the receipt you just created.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add lines">
    Add the items that arrived.

    **Order line:** select a pending line from the supplier's orders. If you received more than one item, add a line for each.

    **Quantity:** enter the units counted during unloading.

    **Supplier lot:** enter the lot, batch, or series assigned to the parts by the manufacturer. It usually appears on a pallet or box label.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive the material">
    Review the lines and click **Receive**.

    <Warning>
      **Receive** requires a location, at least one line, and all required inspections completed.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Correct or undo a receipt

**Path:** **Warehouse > Receipts > Received order**

### Undo the receipt

If you record an incorrect quantity or lot, click **Undo receipt** to correct the document.

Clicking **Undo receipt** automatically does two things:

* **Stock correction:** the system subtracts the units added by this receipt. Later stock movements remain recorded.
* **Status change:** the document returns to **Pending receipt** so you can correct quantities, items, or other data.

<Warning>
  Avoid correcting a received receipt with adjustments when you can reverse it. Reversal better preserves its relationship with the purchase order.
