Managing Purchase Receipts in iVendNext: A Step-by-Step Guide

Overview

This article gives you an overview of creating, managing, and troubleshooting Purchase Receipts in iVendNext.




1. What is a Purchase Receipt?

A Purchase Receipt is a document that:
✔ Confirms physical receipt of goods from a supplier.
✔ Updates stock quantities in your warehouse.
✔ Tracks accepted vs. rejected items.
✔ Serves as the basis for billing via Purchase Invoice.


Key Workflow:
Purchase Order → Purchase Receipt → Purchase Invoice





2. Creating a Purchase Receipt

Method 1: From a Purchase Order (Recommended)

  1. Navigate to Home > Stock > Purchase Receipt.

  2. Click "Add Purchase Receipt" and select the linked Purchase Order.

  3. The system auto-fills item details (quantity, rate, warehouse).

  4. Modify Accepted/Rejected quantities if needed.

  5. Save & Submit.


Method 2: Manual Entry (Without PO)

  1. Go to Home > Stock > Purchase Receipt > "Add Purchase Receipt".

  2. Enter:

    • Supplier

    • Items (with quantities and rates)

    • Warehouse (Accepted/Rejected)

  3. Save & Submit.




3. Key Fields in a Purchase Receipt

Field

Purpose

Accepted Warehouse

Where good-quality stock is stored.

Rejected Warehouse

Holds defective/returnable items.

Serial/Batch Nos.

Track items with serial/batch numbers.

Quality Inspection

Mandatory if enabled in Item Master.

"Stock Received but Not Billed"

Temporary liability account for unbilled stock.





4. Handling Partial Receipts & Rejections

Partial Deliveries

  • Adjust the Accepted Quantity to match what was received.

  • The system updates the Pending Quantity in the Purchase Order.


Rejected Items

  1. Enter the Rejected Quantity in the Purchase Receipt.

  2. Assign a Rejected Warehouse (e.g., "Defective Stock").

  3. The system excludes rejected items from inventory valuation.


Pro Tip: Use Quality Inspection to document rejection reasons.




5. Accounting Impact of Purchase Receipts

When you submit a Purchase Receipt:


  • Debit: Warehouse Account (stock increases).

  • Credit: "Stock Received but Not Billed" (temporary liability).


Once billed via Purchase Invoice:


  • Debit: "Stock Received but Not Billed" (clears liability).

  • Credit: Supplier Account (payable).


This prevents double-counting expenses.
