Shipments and receiving

Receive each delivery against its purchase order. See what is still to arrive while the goods enter stock at their true cost.

Free plan with 2 users, 100 products and 1 location. No credit card, no time limit.

Why it matters

  • Shortages spotted at once

    Each line shows the quantity still to come, so you can spot a short delivery as you record it.

  • Receive only what remains

    You cannot receive more than the quantity left on the line.

  • True cost from day one

    Goods come in at the order price plus their share of duties and other landed costs.

How it works

Every arrival is recorded against its order, so purchasing and the warehouse see the same figures: what has come in and what is still to arrive.

  1. Assign a receiver

    Step 1 of 4

    Assign a receiver

    Approved orders appear in Shipments. Assign each to the person receiving it, who is notified in the app and by email.

    • In-app and email alerts for receivers
    • Set a default receiver by department
    • Filter outstanding shipments by receiver
  2. Record the delivery

    Step 2 of 4

    Record the delivery

    For each line, enter the quantity and date of arrival. If everything came, one click fills in the outstanding quantity.

    • No future or pre-order delivery dates
    • Fill outstanding quantities in one click
    • No over-receiving against order lines
  3. Book into stock

    Step 3 of 4

    Book into stock

    On saving, stock rises in the order's location on the date given. The order shows at once what arrived and what is missing.

    • Order location sets where goods enter
    • See goods value and costs per line
    • Choose shelves for shelf-tracked products
  4. Receive remaining goods

    Step 4 of 4

    Receive remaining goods

    Record the remaining goods against the same order when they arrive. Once complete, the shipment moves to completed automatically.

    • One order can cover several deliveries
    • Shipment marked complete after the last delivery
    • Delivery history includes date, location and author

Common questions

Another question?

Write to us from the contact page, or search the guides.

Where do received goods go?

To the location set on the order. Every order has one. Move them later with a transfer if needed.

What if the supplier sends more than ordered?

Receive the ordered quantity to close the line, then record the extra units with a stock in movement.

How do I correct a delivery recorded by mistake?

Delete the stock entry it created: the quantity goes back to outstanding and you record it again.

Who can record deliveries?

Only people you authorise. Assigning shipments and recording deliveries are separate permissions.

Can one delivery cover two orders?

Yes. Record it on each order, and each keeps its own count of what is missing.
