Goods received (GRN)

A goods received note records a delivery from a supplier.

Receiving against an order

1. Open the approved purchase order and choose Receive goods.
2. Enter what actually arrived on each line. You can receive part of an order now and the rest later.
3. Enter the supplier's delivery note number and Save delivery.

Stock items go straight into the warehouse at the order's cost before VAT. Their value is held in Goods received not invoiced until the supplier's bill arrives.

Receiving without an order

Choose Receive goods in Purchasing > Goods received, choose the supplier and add the products, quantities and costs.

Then

Choose Enter their bill on the delivery when the invoice comes. A delivery entered by mistake can be voided before its bill is entered, as long as the stock is still there.
