Posting the Receiving will update your inventory in "Inventory Entry" in INVENTORY (5.1.1). To Post the Receiving to inventory, enter a <P> and press <ENTER>. This will update Quantity on Hand.

When the Receiving is posted, a Customer Back Order report of items on the Receiving that have Back Order Quantities will print automatically listing the Back Orders, Customers and Dates.

The Back Ordered Items can be Received at another time.

The defaults for Posting are created in "Receiving Setup" (4.3.4). Once a Receiving has been Saved, it will keep the setup. If the "Receiving Setup" (4.3.4) has been changed, only new Receiving entries will be affected.

If you want to Post the Order that you just printed, enter a <-> (dash) at the "Receive #" and press <ENTER>. You will now have the Order on the screen.

When posting a Receiving, the Accounting Period will be generated from the system date instead of the AR Accounting Period. This works better since the End of Month Inventory Value in General Ledger can be tied more easily to the “Inventory Value Report” in INVENTORY (5.2.4) if it is run precisely at month end.

NOTE: Please refer to "Adjustments to Received Merchandise" (4.1.3) for instructions to change Posted Receiving.
