Receiving Stock

Use the Receive Stock function to record incoming goods into your inventory.

Recording a Receipt

1. Navigate to Receive Stock.
2. Select the location where goods are being received.
3. Search for and add products as line items.
4. For each product, enter:
   • Quantity received
   • Unit cost (purchase price per unit)
5. For batch-tracked products, also enter:
   • Batch number
   • Manufacturing date (optional)
   • Expiry date (optional)
6. For serialized products, enter serial numbers (one per line, or separated by commas/semicolons). The number of serials must match the quantity.
7. Use Preview & Commit if you want a validation pass before posting, or click Receive Stock to submit directly.

The receiving console keeps the barcode/SKU input focused for handheld scanners. Its readiness panel checks the destination, source context, quantities, costs, and any required batch, expiry, or serial data. Review the stock and Accounting impact summary before committing; the server performs the final validation and remains authoritative.

3. Fill in and upload the file.
4. Review any errors by line number and fix before re-importing.
