Goods receipt notes
A goods receipt note records products received against an incoming order before the goods move through warehouse handling. In PAMS, the purchase flow places the goods receipt note after a purchase order and before warehouse work. The receipt form also accepts assembly, transfer, and delivery orders as related orders.

Before you start
Before creating or changing a goods receipt note, have the incoming order ready and make sure your account can create or edit the record. The selected order determines which receipt branch and product quantities you work with.
Prerequisites
- Know the incoming order you are receiving. The Related order no. field groups orders as P.O.s, Assmbly orders, Transfer orders, and Delivery note.
- Use the Warehouse area with permission to create a new record when you are creating a note.
- Use an existing receipt with editing permission when you are changing a saved note.
- The Warehouse subscription must include the receipt feature, and the page must be available.
- Keep the order in a state where the relevant action is available. Order-level Save requires an existing receipt with a new or changed order, while Consider PO As Not Received requires an existing unchanged order that is not read-only.
- Open the Warehouse receiving list to start a new note or open a saved note for editing.

Understand the receipt screen
A goods receipt screen has a header for the related order and receipt information, an order panel for the received products, and a history tab on an existing receipt.
Header fields

|---|---|---|---|
| Related order no. | The incoming order selected for the receipt | On a new receipt as a field; after selection, the order number is shown in the order panel header | Yes |
| Recieved by | The responsible person | On the receipt form; the control is disabled | Yes |
| Recieved on | The receipt date | On the receipt form; the control is disabled and cannot be later than today | No |

The form does not provide a Warehouse field. The received-order panel carries the product receipt information instead of a separate warehouse field. The screen also does not provide a P.O. is totally received checkbox.
