Purchase Orders: Receive

Receiving is where a purchase order becomes stock on your shelves. When a delivery arrives, you receive it against the PO, and the units become on-hand inventory at the cost on the PO. To see how that cost is tracked afterward, read How a PO becomes inventory. When the supplier can't ship the rest, close or short-close the PO.
