How to Receive Purchase Orders

This article highlights efficient receiving practices. You will learn how to accept and reject items, as well as streamline record-keeping with history logs and packing slip attachments.

Best Practice for Receiving

Receiving is an essential process that involves accurately recording and confirming the quantity of products that have been shipped to the designated location. This action is crucial as it directly impacts inventory management, payment processes, and invoicing procedures.

Upon the arrival of a shipment, you will have the capability to perform a three-way match, comparing the supplies in the box, the Purchase Order, and the invoice.

 📝 To ensure the accuracy of the shipment, it is important to record the quantity received for each item ordered. This helps to confirm that the shipment is correct.

If any items are received in a damaged condition, you have the option to reject the damaged products in order to escalate and resolve the issue promptly. Furthermore, you can initiate returns and upload photos of the damage to conveniently store all the necessary evidence in one place.
