Inventory: Receiving items on order

Whether or not you use purchase orders, there are three ways to record the inventory items you receive, depending on how you pay for the items.

Buy items over-the-counter

Write a check or enter a credit card charge.

Receive items without a bill

Enter an item receipt and then enter the bill when it arrives.

Receive items with the bill included

Receive the items and enter a bill at the same time.
