What this page is for
A goods receipt records a delivery that has actually arrived, and puts it into stock. It is always raised against an approved purchase order — nothing can be received without one. This page lists every receipt, newest first, with its reference, supplier, receiving store, total and status.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Posted | In stock. Nothing has been reversed. |
| Partly reversed | Some of this receipt has been reversed; the rest still stands. |
| Reversed | Every line has been reversed; none of it remains in stock. |
A posted receipt is never edited — if it was wrong, it is reversed instead, in full or in part. Goods that genuinely arrived and are now going back to the supplier are a supplier return, not a reversal.
Everyone whose role can view purchasing sees this page. Recording a receipt needs a role that can receive goods; reversing one needs a role that can void purchasing documents.
