Purchase Receipt

Purchase Receipt

A Purchase Receipt is generated when you receive goods from your supplier, typically against a Purchase Order. It updates the stock ledger and tracks the accepted and rejected quantities and warehouse locations.

 

You can also generate a Purchase Receipt directly without a Purchase Order if Purchase Order Required is “No” in Buying Settings.

 

Go to:

 

Home > Stock > Stock Transactions > Purchase Receipt
