A Goods Received Note (GRN) allows users to book items on purchase orders into stock. The benefits of using GRNs include:

A formatted report is created which includes the location the items are to be put and the supplier's reference.
Stock items can be assigned to multiple locations.
Stock items can be booked in by barcode.
Damaged or unsuitable stock items can be rejected so they don't go into stock.
Multiple purchase orders for the same supplier can be booked in at the same time.
GRNs can be populated with items that contain a batch code and expiry date information using 2D data barcode scans This option is not enabled by default. Please email Development for more information.
New Batch codes can be created for items being booked in where there is no existing batch code.

Existing GRNs can be opened or new GRNs can be created from the GRN List Tab.

The screen consists of the upper information area, and two grids.
