Stock Receipts
Bring goods into a warehouse and put them on hand.
Overview
A stock receipt records goods arriving, from a supplier or any other source. Confirming it increases the stock on hand in the receiving location, and where the goods come from a purchase order the receipt is linked to it.
Receipts, deliveries, transfers, adjustments and returns all use the same document screen, so they look and behave alike.
When to use stock receipts

- You record opening stock.

Accounting impact
- Stock increases at the receiving location, valued by the product’s valuation method.
- Posts to Accounting: debit Inventory Asset, credit GRNI (goods received not invoiced), using the accounts mapped in Accounting Settings. If an account is not mapped the posting is skipped with a warning and the stock movement still succeeds.
