Manually receipting stock

Based on how business units are configured, stock is:

  • received manually
  • integrated with creditor invoice entry
  • integrated with purchase order receipts.

Use the Receive Item Stock window to manually receipt stock into the business unit.
After entering a stock receipt:

  • the stock level is adjusted
  • a new receipt record is created
  • the average cost field is updated.


Note: Receipting stock has no effect on the general ledger. Enter a general ledger journal if you need to record financial transactions.
