Free goods receipt
Overview
Not every delivery comes with a purchase order: samples, a delivery without paperwork, a return from repair. The free goods receipt books such receipts with its own document and number — stock without a document would have no origin, and a stocktake difference would leave no trace.
Booking creates the document and the stock in one step. The document is immutable afterwards; a correction is a stock adjustment. If a product is not yet in the master data, create it right in the line — it is marked "newly created" on the document so someone completes the master data.
Core tasks
- Book a goods receipt — choose the warehouse, enter sender and delivery note number, capture
the lines and book.
- Put away immediately — with a bin, the line is booked straight to the bin; without, it lands
in the receiving zone or on the default bin.
- Print the put-away list — on the warehouse detail page, Print put-away list prints the
unplaced stock with a bin suggestion as a work sheet.

FAQ & troubleshooting
"The quantity must be a whole number." Stock-managed goods book whole units.
The receipt is rejected because of the best-before date. The warehouse blocks expired goods; nothing is booked then, not even the other lines.
