Introduction to the Goods Receipt Register

This register holds records of deliveries received into stock, for Stocked Items. Normally, the information for the Goods Receipt record is taken from the Supplier's delivery note. In many cases, the Invoice from the Supplier is not available at the time of delivery, and therefore full information about the cost of different Items may not be available. The stock value in Hansa is based on the information recorded in the Goods Receipt register.

Goods Receipt records can be created directly in the Stock module. If the Purchase Orders module is installed, they can also be created from Purchase Orders, in a similar manner to that in which Deliveries are created from Sales Orders.

If the Production module is installed, entering a record in the Production register will update stock through an "invisible" goods receipt transaction. The result of "finishing" a Production transaction in the Production module is to update the stock levels of the input and output Items specified in the Recipe used. No Goods Receipt transaction will be generated in the Goods Receipt register, but the result of the stock change will, however, be visible in the Item History report in the Stock module.

In the Stock module, select 'Goods Receipts' from the Registers menu, or click the [Goods Receipts] button in the Master Control panel. The 'Goods Receipts: Browse' window is opened, showing Goods Receipts already entered:

Goods Receipts are normally shown in transaction number order. The OK column contains a check mark for Goods Receipts that have been approved.
