Receive stock

Goal

Increase on-hand quantity when goods arrive.

Preferred paths

1. Purchase order → Receive (goods receipt + GRNI) — best when buying against a PO.
2. Purchase bill post with “also act as goods receipt” when receiving at bill time.
3. Inventory → Receipt manual movement (POST /inventory/receipts) for adjustments not tied to a PO.

Steps (manual receipt)

1. Open Inventory and start a Receipt movement.
2. Choose warehouse, item, quantity (> 0), and costing fields as prompted.
3. Post the movement — StockMovementService updates on-hand and value.

Hard stops

Non-stockable item; non-positive qty; batch/serial required; period issues if GL posts; insufficient rights.
