Receiving Inventory in Advance of a Bill
If you maintain inventory, you can indicate that items have been received without entering a bill.
To receive items without billing them:
-
Go to Transactions > Purchases > Receive Orders.
-
Select a vendor.
You can select All to show all purchase orders with a Pending Receipt status.
-
Click Receive in the Process column next to the purchase order you want to receive.
-
On the Item Receipt page, verify that the items to receive are correct.
-
Click Save.
The status of the Purchase Order is now Pending Billing.
Now, your inventory records will be up to date, but the order won't yet show as a bill entered. When you receive the bill from the vendor, bill the purchase order.
