What Buy and Receive gets you to

  • Turn a request for quotation into a purchase order and receive the goods against it

Buy and Receive2 lessons11 min

When the delivery arrives, open its receipt: Receive Products on the purchase order, or the Receipts card in Inventory › Overview.

A receipt with Demand and Quantity columns and a Validate button
The receipt for purchase order P00023: the Quantity column is filled in with what was ordered.
  1. Check each line: Demand is what you ordered, Quantity is what you are receiving.
  2. Change the quantity if less arrived.
  3. Click Validate.

If less arrived than you ordered, BridgeERP asks whether to create a backorder: a second receipt for the rest, which stays open until it comes. Choose No Backorder if the rest will never come.

Validating puts the goods in stock and updates the Received column on the purchase order. If something was wrong, Return sends goods back to the vendor.
