A goods receipt can move through Submit for acceptance and Accept receipt controls according to its state and your current purchasing permissions. Open the saved receipt and compare its quantities, received date, supplier reference and delivery evidence with what actually arrived.
If the quantities or source evidence need correction, use the available return or withdrawal path rather than accepting a known mismatch. Record a specific reason so the preparer understands the issue and can correct the retained document.
Acceptance confirms the supported receipt within the purchasing workflow. It does not issue a supplier bill or post the final payable automatically. The accepted receipt can later be converted into one unissued bill draft for the existing bill-review process.
After the decision, review the receipt state and the parent order's delivery quantities. If the result is uncertain, resume the retained request before starting a second acceptance attempt. A clear saved history lets the bill reviewer distinguish the order commitment, accepted delivery and supplier invoice as related but separate evidence.
