You can receive stock for purchase orders created in Retail POS. If you need to receive stock into your inventory for orders placed outside of Retail POS, you can do so without having to retroactively create a purchase order first. 

Merchants on Plus plans can also generate a draft received purchase order from a supplier document.

Receiving stock without a purchase order

To receive stock in Retail POS without a purchase order:

1. Navigate to Inventory > Stock control > Orders. 

2. Click Receive stock.

   

3. Enter the Delivery details. The Delivery recipient and Order number are required.

   

4. In the Products and costs section, select Choose products and enter the product name in the search bar, or scan the product barcode. If you're scanning products, toggle on Quick scan to automatically add the SKU of a variant product so you don’t have to manually select the variant from the parent product.

   

   If the product has not yet been created in Retail POS, you can add the product using the quick add product guide.

   

5. Enter the Quantity received for each product.

6. The Supplier price per unit field will automatically populate with the product's supply price. If this changes, enter the new price and Retail POS will recalculate the product's average cost. This will not change the product's default supply price.

   To change the regular supply price of a product, you need to edit the product information on the Products page (Catalog > Products).

7. Enter any relevant discounts, shipping costs, and import duties.
8. At the top of the page, click Receive, or Save to save as a draft. To reopen a draft purchase order and continue receiving later, navigate to Inventory > Stock control > Orders and locate the stock order.

9. Click Receive delivery. This action can't be undone.
