Checking and Approving Goods Receipts

Once a Goods Receipt has been entered, it needs to be checked and approved, in order to confirm amounts and values. Click in the OK click box to approve it, and save the approval by pressing the [Save] button in the Button Bar. You will no longer be able to change a Goods Receipt once it has been approved.

On approval, stock levels will be amended and, if so defined in the Sub Systems setting in the Nominal Ledger, a cost accounting Transaction will be created in the Nominal Ledger. Please refer to the Nominal Ledger Transactions from Goods Receipts page for details of the Accounts used by this Transaction.

If you are unable to save a Goods Receipt after you have checked the OK box, the probable cause is that you will not have specified Freight, Customs and Extra Cost Accounts on card 5 of the Account Usage S/L setting (in the Sales Ledger). These Accounts must be specified, even if the Goods Receipt does not include any of these costs.
