Inventory / Receiving & Stock

Receive what actually arrived, not what the purchase order expected.

Record accepted, damaged and on-hold quantities against the supplier order, post usable stock into inventory, and leave the receipt available when Accounts Payable checks the bill later.

Record the supplier delivery against the purchase order

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

Each received product can point back to the PO product it belongs to, which is what lets Lynka compare ordered quantity with what actually arrived.

Separate usable stock from damaged or held quantity

Received products can record total received quantity along with accepted, damaged and on-hold quantities.

Accepted quantity drives the purchase-order received total and the stock increase for stocked products, while damaged and on-hold quantities remain separate.

Post several receipts against one supplier order

A supplier does not have to deliver the whole PO at once. Each posted goods receipt contributes accepted quantity back to the relevant purchase-order products.

Lynka recalculates whether the PO is partially received or fully received from the accumulated posted receipts.

Post accepted stocked goods into inventory

When a goods receipt is posted, Lynka applies accepted quantity to stocked products through a stock movement linked to the receipt.

Non-stocked products can appear on a receipt without creating physical stock.

Update weighted product cost from the accepted incoming stock

For a posted stocked product, Lynka calculates a weighted cost using the prior stock and cost together with the newly accepted quantity at its base-currency unit cost.

The resulting product cost and the stock movement retain the receipt and cost details instead of changing product cost with no explanation.

Keep receiving problems visible instead of silently posting them

Receipt products carry an inventory-posting state and can store an error when the accepted stock could not be applied safely, for example when trustworthy base-currency cost information is missing.

Inventory hub data can surface receipt lines that need posting review alongside damaged and on-hold quantities.

Use the receipt when the supplier bill arrives

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

That gives Accounts Payable the receiving evidence it needs for three-way matching and for received-not-billed reporting when goods have arrived but no supplier bill is linked yet.

Generate a goods receipt document

Lynka can generate a goods-receipt PDF from the receiving record when a document is needed.

The same posted receiving record that updates purchasing and stock can therefore produce a document for the operational record.

Accepted stock can update weighted product cost

When a posted receipt is applied to a stocked product, Lynka can use the accepted quantity and the base-currency receiving cost to update the product's weighted average cost.

If a trustworthy base-currency cost cannot be established for a foreign-currency receipt, the inventory posting can fail for review instead of inventing the cost needed for valuation.

Keep a receiving document with the receiving record

The goods-receipt PDF comes from the same receiving record that keeps the supplier, purchase order, receipt date, accepted quantity, damaged quantity and on-hold quantity used by Inventory.

That gives Purchasing and the warehouse both a document and a structured receiving history without asking Finance to infer what happened from the supplier bill later.

That difference matters when deliveries are partial, damaged, delayed or billed later.

Receiving is where the purchase order meets the warehouse. Lynka records the physical delivery separately so ordered quantity does not become stock until a posted receipt says what was actually accepted.
