Once a PO is ready to be received into stock, or its various receive to locations, it can be done through the Action menu on the Purchase Order page, while that specific Purchase Order is selected.

 

To receive a PO use the following steps: 
  1. Select Purchasing.
  2. Select Purchase Orders.
  3. Select a specific Purchase Order record.
  4. Select Action.
  5. Select Receive.
  6. Enter the desired receiving quantities for any line items you'd like to receive and add the Receive To ID and Receive To if necessary.
  7. Select OK.

When using Action > Receive on a PO, the Quantity Received shows how much has been received on Line Items that have been received. If nothing has been received on those Line Items, it will show 0.
 
When using Action > Receive on a PO, the Quantity Ordered shows how much was requested on the Line Item.
 
The ability to use the Receive Action is based on a Users role. If you do not have access to the Receive action, please contact your local administrator to have them adjust your Role.
