Receiving

Receive a purchase order

Process an inbound purchase-order shipment using inspection counts or barcode scanning.

Quick answer

Before stock can be received, the purchase order must first be created in LaSyncro against products from your connected Shopify catalog.

When that shipment arrives, open its receive job, confirm what actually arrived, then close the job to add accepted stock to inventory and create stow tasks.

You can receive using Inspection count or Scan barcodes.

Review the expected lines

The receive session shows the products included in the shipment and the Expected quantity for each line.

Use these values as the reference when checking the physical delivery.

Option 1: Inspection count

Choose Inspection count when you want to enter the quantity received for each product line.

For each line:

  1. check the physical quantity;
  2. enter the number of accepted units;
  3. confirm the line.

If the accepted quantity is lower than expected, LaSyncro treats the difference as a shortage that must be handled before completing the receive flow.

Option 2: Scan barcodes

Choose Scan barcodes when the incoming products have barcodes that LaSyncro can resolve.

Scan each unit.

LaSyncro matches the barcode against the products on the purchase order and increases the count for the matching line.

When the scanned quantity reaches the expected quantity, the line can be confirmed as fully received.

If a barcode does not match

LaSyncro can reject a scan when:

  • no product can be recognised from the barcode;
  • the barcode belongs to a product that is not part of the current purchase order;
  • the line has already been fully confirmed.

Correct the product or scan before continuing.

Accepted quantities

The Accepted quantity represents the units successfully received.

Only accepted quantities:

  • increase the purchase order's received quantity;
  • increase warehouse on-hand inventory;
  • increase available inventory;
  • create downstream stow work.

Finish receiving

When all lines have been checked, select Close & Create Stow Tasks.

The receive job is closed and accepted inventory moves into the stowing stage.

If the purchase order has only been partly received, its status remains partially received. Once its expected stock has been fully received, it can advance to received.
