Receive inventory from another supported source

Enter the acquisition cost and reconcile the clearing source separately.

Updated 2026-11-11

Receive stock offers Other source for a receipt that is not being taken from an eligible issued native bill. Select the tracked product, set the accounting date and enter the quantity in its displayed unit.

Enter Total acquisition cost for this receipt, including the directly attributable costs supported by your reviewed evidence. The form explicitly says not to enter the catalog selling price. Use a Reason and source reference that identifies the supplier bill or other acquisition record.

Review Proposed stock cost and submit the movement through the existing Journals workflow. The receipt uses the product's purchase clearing account, which needs separate reconciliation with the acquisition and payment evidence. Posting the stock receipt does not send money.

Quantities and values change together only when an authorized user posts the journal. Inspect the resulting movement and linked journal afterward. If the acquisition is already represented by an eligible bill source, review whether that specific source mode is the correct path before entering an additional other-source receipt that could duplicate stock cost.
