Receipt of Goods

OBJECTIVE

The Receipt of Goods function is used to enter quantities received associated with a Stock Order from Catalogue into maestro*. The inventory is adjusted when transferring transactions.

Accounting entries for accrued charges can be generated when the transaction is transferred. To correctly manage accrued charges, special settings are required in Configuration. A temporary accounting entry is generated when the receipt of goods is transferred to post the costs. This accounting entry is reversed when the order is invoiced. In the receiving and invoicing procedure, the user can include certain expenses (such as customs, transportation, etc.) that will be invoiced separately, but that must be included in the average costs of inventory or in costs posted to projects. Check the Calculating an average cost including landing cost How to document for more information on this topic.
