Learn how to find, view and cancel Receiving Notes.

A Receiving Note is created against a Purchase Order to mark a specific quantity of each item on the Purchase Order as physically Received. This is an important step for Organizations who wish to understand if items on a Purchase Order have been received in full, when comparing an Invoice to a Purchase Order. A Purchase Order can have multiple Receiving Notes created against it, as not all products on the Purchase Order may be physically delivered at the same time.

Viewing All Receiving Notes

1. Select [Purchase Orders] → [Receiving Notes] from the side navigation bar. A table of All Receiving Notes will appear. The table includes Receiving Notes in both a 'DRAFT' and 'RECEIVED' state.

  • A 'DRAFT' Receiving Note has been created but not yet been finalized (marked as Received). You can resume a DRAFT Receiving Note by clicking into it.
  • A 'RECEIVED' Receiving Note has been finalized and can no longer be modified. The received quantity of each item on the Receiving Note is now used by the Purchase Order to indicate the Received state of each line on the Purchase Order.

View all Receiving Notes2. Click [Receiving Note] in a 'RECEIVED' state, to view the quantity recorded as Received for each item. When a Receiving Note is created, it contains the same items that appear on the Purchase Order it was created against.
