The inbound or receiving process accepts expected receipts or returns into the system. As you are notified of an incoming product, it can be entered into the system in advance. When the shipment arrives, it then can be verified and placed into available locations in the warehouse.

Returns are the same as receipts, but they get a return flag for reporting purposes.

The main screen describes the header information for this receipt and there are sub-screens for the receipt details to describe the products received, and the putaway locations where the inventory will be eventually be received.

When the inbound order is saved, there are options to save as expected or to receive. Each of these items present a list of reports. Inbound Tally and Inbound Receipt are examples.
