Receipts
A receipt occurs when inventory is brought into a location. Receipts increase the quantity on hand of an item at a particular location. Use the following programs to receive inventory that does not have an existing or open order:
Use Receipts–Unplanned (3.9) to receive miscellaneous inventory such as floor stock items sent back from production, or materials from a manufacturing order that has been closed from an accounting standpoint.
Use Receipts–Sales Order Return (3.10) to tag a receipt as a return only if you do not use Sales Orders/Invoices. This is not a complete return since it does not update sales or commission history, and does not generate a credit invoice.
Use Receipts–Return to Stock (3.11) to return to stock miscellaneous items that have been temporarily moved elsewhere.
Use Receipts–Backward Exploded (3.12) to increase inventory quantity for an item at a designated site and location and decrease inventory for its components. Backward-exploded receipts are often used in kitting or simple assembly operations, where there is no need for a work order. Recording receipt of a finished item indicates that an associated set of items was used.
