PURCHASING QUESTIONS

Purchases and
goods receipts: FAQs.

Discuss your purchase process
Can a purchase order have multiple goods receipts?

Yes. Record separate receipts against a released purchase order as deliveries arrive. Review ordered, received and pending quantities using the released receipts.

When does received stock become available?

For purchases set to add stock, releasing the goods receipt posts incoming quantities to the selected warehouse and storage locations. Items requiring inspection follow the configured receiving process. A pending receipt does not add stock.

Can stores and accounts work from the same purchase?

Yes. Stores can record goods received against a purchase, and accounts can use the related purchase records. We configure your receiving, posting and return process during setup.

Can we record a return for selected items?

Yes. Add the supplier, warehouse and items, then enter the quantities to return. Release checks the available stock and posts the outward movement and return accounting entries.
