Use the Inventory Receipts window to add, edit, and delete inventory receipts.
Inventory receipts are used to list and record the inventory items that you receive from your suppliers. Although inventory items can arrive with or without inventory receipts, all inventory items must first be recorded on inventory receipts before purchase invoices can be created, saved, and paid. Products on inventory receipts can be imported into purchase invoices. Operational expense (non-inventory) items do not require inventory receipts; inactive items cannot be recorded on inventory receipts.
Since the final cost of a product is not guaranteed until the bill from the supplier arrives (i.e., a purchase invoice), the cost of a product on an inventory receipt is assumed to be estimated until it is billed.
When you save an inventory receipt, your inventory counts are updated to reflect the change in product quantity at the specified location(s). Your Accounts Payable balance, however, is not affected until a purchase invoice for the product(s) is added and saved.
Inventory receipts can be changed until they are billed on a purchase invoice. For example, you can change a product’s quantity, add another product, or change a product’s estimated cost. However, items on an inventory receipt cannot be partially billed.
Notes
Inventory receipts must have unique reference numbers.
You can use inventory receipts to record returned inventory items
- use a negative quantity to indicate a return to supplier.
