Inventory / Receiving & Stock

The warehouse should record what arrived, not what the PO hoped would arrive.

Separate accepted, damaged and on-hold quantities, update stock only from usable goods, and leave the receipt ready for Purchasing and Accounts Payable to verify later.

Tie the physical delivery back to the supplier order

A goods receipt can reference the supplier and purchase order while keeping its own receipt number, date, delivery-note number, receiver and notes.

Each received product can point to the PO line it belongs to, which is what makes ordered-versus-received quantity meaningful.

Do not let damaged goods quietly become available stock

Receipt lines can separate total received quantity into accepted, damaged and on-hold quantities.

Accepted quantity drives the usable-stock and PO-received totals, while damaged and held quantities stay visible as exceptions instead of inflating inventory.

Let one PO arrive in several real deliveries

A supplier does not have to deliver the full order at once. Each posted receipt contributes accepted quantity back to the relevant purchase-order lines.

Lynka can determine whether the PO is partially or fully received from the accumulated posted evidence.

Increase inventory only when accepted goods are posted

Posting a receipt can create inbound stock movement for stocked products using the accepted quantity.

Non-stocked items and services can appear on a receipt without inventing physical warehouse quantity.

Let receiving explain why product cost changed

For stocked products, Lynka can update weighted cost from prior stock and cost together with the newly accepted quantity at its base-currency receiving cost.

The receiving line and stock movement retain the cost context. If trustworthy base-currency cost cannot be established, posting can fail for review instead of inventing a valuation input.

Surface receipt problems before they disappear into the balance

Receipt lines can keep inventory-posting state and errors when accepted stock could not be applied safely. Inventory views can surface lines needing review together with damaged and on-hold quantities.

That gives Operations a correction queue instead of a silent mismatch between the receipt and the product balance.

Use receiving evidence when the supplier bill finally arrives

Supplier bills can link to goods receipts and allocate billed quantity against receipt products.

That gives Accounts Payable the receiving side of three-way matching and helps identify received-not-billed purchases when goods are already in the business but the payable has not arrived.

Generate the operational receipt from the structured receiving record

Lynka can generate a goods-receipt PDF from the record that already contains supplier, purchase order, receipt date and quantity condition details.

The document is an output of the receiving event; the structured record remains available for stock, purchasing and finance afterward.

That distinction becomes essential the first time a delivery is partial, damaged or missing the supplier invoice.

Receiving is the evidence between the supplier order and the stock balance. Lynka waits for a posted receipt before ordered quantity becomes accepted inventory.
