Receiving items
When goods arrive, create a receipt against the purchase order. You can receive all items at once or create partial receipts as goods arrive.
Cost tracking
The unit cost on each purchase order line is used to calculate the average cost of the item. When goods are received, the average cost is recalculated using the weighted average method.
