Recording items received without a supplier invoice

You need to record items received against a supplier purchase order. If the order already exists, you can record the items received against the order. If no order exists, you can create one when you record the items received.

To record items received against an order

You can record items received against an existing order in the Purchases window or from the Purchases Register window.

1	Go to the Purchases command centre and click Purchases Register. The Purchases Register window appears.

2	Click the Orders tab.

3	Find the required order and select it.

4	Click Receive Items. The Purchases window appears with the Receive Item status.

5	In the Receive field, type the item quantity received.

6	[AccountEdge Plus only] If you keep items at multiple locations, type the location where you received the items in the Location field, or select it from the list. Note that the Location field only appears if you have set up multiple locations.

7	Click Record. The items are recorded in your stock and the original order is updated with the number of items received.

When you receive the supplier’s bill, you need to convert the order to a purchase. For more information, see Changing the status of a purchase.

If you receive a message to update an order or create a new order

This message indicates that the total of items in the Receive column and the To Date column of an item receipt is greater than the quantity in the Ordered column.

You have the following choices:

■	Update order: If you choose to update the order, your original order will be updated by the difference between the quantity of the original order and the total received (the quantities in the Receive column plus the quantity in the To Date column).

■	New order: If you choose to create a new order, a new order will be created. The quantity of items listed in the new order will equal the difference between the amount of the original order and the total received (the quantities in the Receive column plus the quantity in the To Date column).

■	Cancel: If you choose to cancel, you will return to the Receive Item window without updating or creating any orders.
