Once the truck arrives from the vendor and the merchandise is on your loading dock, you check the merchandise against the vendor's packing slip. You may find some discrepancies between the quantities you ordered and the quantities that were actually shipped to you. You may also find that the vendor's price on one or more items has changed. For example, you ordered 12 of an item, but you only received 10 in the shipment, and the item was received at a higher cost than what was listed on your purchase order. In this example, you want to correct both the quantity received and the cost of the item. In turn, you may also want to change your retail as a result of the cost increase.
Use the Purchasing and Receiving window to retrieve your purchase order, then click on the Receive button to begin the receiving process. You can then make any changes to the purchase order that you noted on the vendor’s packing slip.
Note: If you receive certain POs in multiple shipments, and therefore have the Backorder field on the PO set to Y, you may want to use the "Click Mode" to make receiving quicker and easier.
