The Receiving option is used when the items from purchase orders are physically received by the organization. With the Receiving option, a receiving can be entered, and then the receiving information appears when invoicing purchase orders, to ensure payment is only made for the items received.
For organizations with Fixed Asset Inventory, asset information for items to be tracked as assets in Fixed Asset Inventory can also be entered within the Receiving option.
Note: The Receiving option is only available to users defined with rights to enter receiving (within the User Security option).
