A Receipt Note voucher is used to record receipt of goods/items at stores. For example , the Company receives new stock item from a Supplier. If a Purchase Order exists for that supply, selecting the PO reference in the Receipt Note will display its particulars.
The details recorded in the Receipt Note are the PO reference, Ledger account, Supplier’s name and address, Name of stock item, Stock location, quantity, rate, amount and the transaction narration.
The Receipt Note is similar to the Goods Receipt Note (GRN) type of entry. When the Receipt Note is passed it updates the inventory levels.
Purchase includes Accounting and Inventory.
