How to Create a Receipt and Match It with the Purchase Order

A Receipt is a way to track that the suppliers delivered the items you requested in Purchase Orders. Once you have received ordered items or services, you need to mark them as delivered in the system.

This process will benefit your company if you track the stock balance in your Warehouse.

Using Receipts in Precoro, you can solve the following problems:

• Lack of information about what was delivered
• Discrepancies in quantity between what was ordered and what was delivered
• Early payment, before the order is fulfilled.

A stockman receives, inspects, and marks all delivered goods. The delivery information appears in an appropriate purchase order, thus the procurement department can control the order fulfillment process or pass an Invoice for payment.

How to Mark Items as Received

There are two possible ways to do it:

1. Directly from a specific Purchase Order by clicking the Create Receipt button.

2. On the Receipt page in the left-side menu:

• Click the Create Receipt button, choose a relevant PO, and click the plus button (+) on the right side of the page. 
• Select the items you received and specify the received quantity. You can then create as many receipts as you need to cover the number of items left undelivered. You can also use filters, this function can be useful when you have a lot of items in the Order and need a quick and easy tool to sort all of them.

  
  You can apply filters to the following:

  • Name field, where you can specify the information in the search line.
  • Items Custom Fields (available only to those activated for the Receipts). More information on working and activating ICFs for documents can be found here.
• Specify the actual delivery date, fill out the other necessary fields, and click the Create button.

In case you have activated an Invoice Without Receipt Blocking Functionality the matching process of the received quantity will remain the same. After you have created and approved the received amount this information will be automatically updated and displayed in the related PO:

You can also download the Receipt printed form, available both in PDF and XLSX formats.

How a Requester Can Get Full Information on the Purchase Order Items from the Receipt

A requester can get full information on the order and items by using the Show Purchase Order button:

You will see the general Order information and complete information on the Items:

Also, you can see the related documents displayed and their numbers that function as hyperlinks for the actual document pages.

As well as on the Purchase Order Management page, you can see the related Invoices and Receipts documents displayed with their numbers being the hyperlinks to the documents themselves:

How to Modify the Receipt

If you need to change anything in the Receipt once it was created, use the Revise button. 

If you mistakenly created a receipt, or it is no longer relevant for you, you can Cancel it and start again.

For you to use this function, the Receipt should have a related Purchase Order.

How to Not Display Prices for Receipt Creators and Approvers

You can activate the setting to Not Display Prices in the Configuration → Basic Settings → Document Setup → Receipt. When active users with Create or Approve Receipt roles will not see prices in the document preview. Except for the Service Order Receipts, we will still display the Net Total amount even if the Not Display Prices setting is activated.

How to Track the Items Delivery

You can track receiving items by the following statuses:

1. Not Received.

 

2. Partly Received — if you received only a part of the order.

3. Received — if you received a complete order.

How to Create Receipts in Bulk Using Multi-Select Function

You can select multiple Purchase Orders and create Receipts for all of them in one click.

To utilize this function:

1. Open the Create Receipt page.
2. Select the necessary Purchase Order documents by ticking them.
3. Choose the Receive selected function.

In case you have the Receipt Approval Workflow in place, the documents you have selected to Receive will get the Pending status, and the set workflow logic you have will be executed.

How to Track Documents with Infocards

Track the Overdue Orders

Use an infocard on the Receipt management page that will allow you to see the Overdue orders. It will help you quickly manage those past the set Delivery Date documents that the Supplier still needs to send, or you still need to create the Receipts for.

The filtering parameters for this infocard include:

• Delivery Date earlier than today.

• Document Status that is Approved and Not Received.

On the Receipt page, when you click the Overdue infocard you will be prompted to select overdue Purchase Orders for creating new Receipts. Additionally, you can also apply filters on that page and mass-select the overdue orders.

Track the Pending Receipt Documents

You can instantly see the number of Pending Receipt documents with the infocard on the following pages:

• Purchase Order management page.
• Receipt management page, which redirects to the Purchase Order selection for the Receipt creation page.
