Receipt of Goods Process

 

Use Receipt of Goods Entry to enter the quantity of goods received and apply the information against outstanding purchase orders. Information for goods received for which there is no corresponding purchase order can also be recorded.

If an invoice is received with the merchandise, you can use Receipt of Goods Entry to enter invoice information. If the invoice is received after the receipt of goods is entered, invoice information must be entered in the Receipt of Invoice Entry window.

If the Post Accounts Payable Invoices check box is selected in Purchase Order Options, any invoice information entered in the Receipt of Goods Entry or Receipt of Invoice Entry windows are recorded automatically as an invoice in the Accounts Payable system. If the Post Accounts Payable Invoices check box is cleared, you cannot enter invoice information.

Receipt of Goods Entry can be performed by batch. The Batch feature is available only if the Allow Batch Entry check box is selected on the Purchase Order Options Integrate tab.

As each receipt is entered, information from the matching purchase order is retrieved automatically to speed the data entry process. When the receipts are processed, the receipt and invoice information is updated to the Open Purchase Order and Accounts Payable master files.

If the Inventory Management module is integrated with Purchase Order, the item costs and units of measure established in Inventory Management are accessed to provide automatic cost calculations for inventory line items. When the receipts are processed, item information is updated to the Inventory master file.
