Introduction
Receiving goods in the store is a regular process carried out by the back-office staff. There are two ways in which goods are received in a store. In one case goods are received against a Purchase Order whereas goods can also be received without a formal Purchase Order.
The process below explains how to receive Purchase Ordered goods. This transaction is also called GRPO (Goods Receipt against a Purchase Order)

Once you have created a Purchase Order, it will be listed in this list view.
