Facts read from this source
-
Purchase receipt definition Report an error
“A Purchase Receipt records the quantity that actually arrived and the warehouses where accepted and rejected goods were placed. Submitting it updates stock and the received quantity on the linked Purchase Order.”
-
Purchase receipt no payable Report an error
“It does not, by itself, create the supplier's payable. That happens when you submit the Purchase Invoice.”
-
Perpetual inventory accounting Report an error
“With perpetual inventory enabled, ERPNext also keeps the warehouse value in sync with the General Ledger. A typical receipt debits Stock In Hand and credits Stock Received But Not Billed for the accepted stock value.”
-
Rejected warehouse Report an error
“When you expect rejected goods, create a separate non-group warehouse such as Returns Warehouse. Keeping rejected stock separate prevents damaged units from appearing as usable stock.”
-
Quality inspection enforcement Report an error
“ERPNext prevents submission when the Item requires inspection and the reference is missing.”
-
Serial batch support Report an error
“For serialized Items, enter the accepted and rejected serial numbers in the correct fields. For batch-controlled Items, select or create the batch as required.”
-
Retain sample Report an error
“Use Retain Sample when your quality process keeps a sample aside. The retained quantity is controlled separately from the quantity made available for normal use.”
-
Receipt without po Report an error
“Create a new Purchase Receipt and choose the Supplier, Items, quantities, rates, and warehouses directly.”
-
Purchase order required setting Report an error
“If direct receipts are not part of your policy, enable Purchase Order Required in Buying Settings.”
-
Barcode scanning Report an error
“Use barcode scanning to add or identify Items at the receiving desk, then verify the resulting Item and quantity before submission.”
-
Subcontracting raw materials Report an error
“Use the consumed-items section for applicable subcontracting receipts. Fetch and verify the stock supplied to the subcontractor rather than treating it as ordinary purchased stock.”
-
Landed cost voucher Report an error
“Use a Landed Cost Voucher when freight, duty, insurance, or clearing charges become known after receipt.”
-
Allocate full amount to stock Report an error
“Use Allocate Full Amount to Stock Items when an actual charge should increase inventory value without increasing the tax-bearing purchase amount.”
-
Partial receipts Report an error
“One Purchase Order can be received through several Purchase Receipts. If Nova receives 120 units today and 80 next week, create separate receipts. ERPNext keeps the order open for the remaining quantity.”
-
Over receipt control Report an error
“Buying Settings may permit a controlled over-receipt percentage, but ERPNext blocks quantities beyond that allowance.”
-
Post receipt actions Report an error
“From the receipt, you can create a Purchase Invoice, Purchase Return, Stock Entry, or retaining-sample entry when applicable.”
-
To bill status Report an error
“The submitted receipt normally shows To Bill until its accepted quantity is covered by a Purchase Invoice.”
-
Edit posting date Report an error
“Enable Edit Posting Date and Time before submission. Backdated stock entries are subject to immutable-ledger and stock-closing rules”
-
Purchase return rejected Report an error
“Rejected quantity can be returned later. Keep it in the rejected warehouse, then create a Purchase Return from the submitted receipt.”
-
Services skip Report an error
“Purchase Receipt can usually be skipped for a pure service because there is no stock movement. The service is ordered and then billed directly through a Purchase Invoice.”
-
Foreign currency Report an error
“Review these when the Purchase Order is in a foreign currency or prices come from a supplier-specific price list. The stock value must still be converted to the Company currency.”
-
Additional discount Report an error
“Additional Discount Use it only when the commercial discount genuinely applies to the receipt.”
-
Stock ledger posting Report an error
“ERPNext posts a Stock Ledger Entry for the accepted quantity in the accepted warehouse and for the rejected quantity in the rejected warehouse. The linked Purchase Order's received quantity and percentage are updated.”
