  You can cancel a material document for a goods receipt in situations like when wrong quantity is entered, the Goods Receipt is entered against the wrong Purchase Order, the goods are damaged and you are waiting for a supplemental shipment, or the goods are in such poor condition you decide to return the item(s) and cancel the entire line item from the Purchase Order. You can cancel a single line item or an entire Goods Receipt.

Record Movement of Goods into Warehouse (Goods Receiving)

A goods receipt is the physical inbound movement of goods or materials from an external vendor or from production into a storage location/warehouse.

Use the Goods Receiving (GR) module to record the physical inward movement of goods. You can use reference documents like Purchase Order (PO), Stock Transport Order (STO), Inbound Delivery (ID) to update and post a material document. If you do not have a reference document, you can manually update and post the material documents.

You can also manually enter the details of materials in the goods receipt and update and post this goods receipt using the referenced document. Once done, you can email the receipt or print the receipt for the records.

You can also capture and attach photos to the Material Master, ensuring the same image is available when you issue the goods for that material.
