Confirm received quantities
In the Quantity to receive column, confirm and edit the quantity for each product, ensuring they match the supplier bill and the actual quantities receipted.
Supplier bill details
If the supplier bill has been supplied for the purchase order, enter its bill number into the "Supplier invoice/bill number or reference" field.
If the supplier bill has not been supplied yet (e.g. for overseas purchase orders), commit the receipt of the order first. The order will then appear on the Received awaiting bill page (Purchases > Received awaiting bill) where you can open it and create a bill.
For more information on entering supplier bills with import costings, refer to our Landed cost calculations help guide.
Commit the receipt
When you're ready, click Commit receive to finalise the receipt. This will increase stock levels with the updated quantities.
If the "Automatically create a bill after receive" option is enabled, a supplier bill will be created automatically. If you're connected to Xero, you can then sync the bill to Xero.
