Handling Purchase Receipts and Stock Updates

Overview

This article outlines the steps to create and manage Purchase Receipts and update stock levels in iVendNext.




1. What is a Purchase Receipt?

A Purchase Receipt is a document that confirms the receipt of goods from a supplier. It serves as proof that the items delivered match the Purchase Order and updates your inventory system with the received quantities. Purchase Receipts are essential for maintaining accurate stock levels and ensuring that your financial records reflect the actual goods received.


Key Components of a Purchase Receipt:

  • Supplier Details: The name and contact information of the supplier.

  • Item Details: The items received, including quantities, rates, and descriptions.

  • Accepted and Rejected Quantities: The quantities of items accepted and rejected (if any).

  • Stock Updates: The system automatically updates the stock levels based on the received quantities.
