Goods Received Note is a document that is used to record the inventory items received from suppliers. GRNs can be issued directly or against already issued Purchase Orders. The document normally records details of Received Quantity, Supplier Name, and PO No. The practice of preparing GRNs is important as it promotes proper inventory control and restricts the unwanted, unauthorized entry of goods in the organization.
Preparing GRN
From the Supplier drop-down, select the supplier you are receiving stock from (all suppliers defined on the Supplier definition screen will appear in the drop-down). If suppliers are not already defined, you can add a new supplier through a quick definition screen by clicking the quick definition button (button with a plus sign).
The current date will appear in the Date field.
The system will generate a number for the GRN to identify it.
Select the radio button for Mode depending upon how you make payment to the supplier for stock received.
Note: All cash payments to suppliers on this screen appear as cash outflows in the Supplier Payment field on the Store Closing screen.
Receiving Stock on Credit: If the stock is received on credit, select Credit from the Mode radio button.
Payment to credit customers is made on the Supplier Payment screen.
Opening Balance of supplier (amount payable to the supplier) is also automatically updated on the Supplier Opening Balance screen.
