What is a goods receipt (приход) and why the paper must match the shelf
Warehouse
Goods receipt
Inventory
A goods receipt (приход) is the intake step that says: these goods arrived, we accepted them, and they now increase on-hand stock. Until receipt is done correctly, “we ordered it” is not the same as “we can sell it.”
What a receipt usually includes
- Supplier (or transfer-from location)
- Date and document number (invoice / delivery note / TTN reference)
- SKU or variant lines with quantities
- Optionally prices/costs for later margin math
- Who accepted the goods
Why paper must match the shelf
The delivery note can list 20 units while the box holds 18, or size M while the label says L. If you stamp “accepted” without counting, the books gain ghost stock. Weeks later inventarization calls it shortage — but the leak started at intake.
Minimum discipline: count (or scan) what you put on the shelf, compare to the document, note shortages/damage before you finalize receipt.
Receipt vs order vs “in transit”
- Purchase order — intent to buy; stock usually not sellable yet
- In transit — left the supplier; not on your shelf
- Goods receipt — accepted into your location; on-hand rises
Chat sellers who promise “arriving tomorrow” from an unreceived order are selling hope, not free stock.
Partial and problem receipts
- Partial — accept what arrived; leave the rest open or claim it
- Damage on arrival — quarantine or refuse lines; do not receipt as sellable
- Wrong SKU — receipt the real identity, or refuse; do not “close enough”
Common mistakes
- Receipting the document quantity without opening boxes
- Ignoring variants (one line “dresses” hiding sizes)
- Putting goods on the floor days before anyone posts receipt
- Fixing later inventarization gaps instead of fixing intake
Optional next step
Clean receipts prevent fake free stock. If purchases and stock share one system, posting a goods receipt is quicker — for example warehouse intake in datalizeCRM — but a signed paper count already beats blind acceptance.
