Goods Received Note Entry GRN

In this article we will be looking at receiving stock against a purchase order using the Goods Received Note Entry form in Jiwa also referred to as a GRN.

Before proceeding ensure that you have reviewed the following articles.

Good Received Note Entry Form

The Goods Received Note or GRN entry form is used to receive;

  1. Inventory and non inventory items against purchase orders raised locally,

  2. Inventory and non inventory items not ordered through a purchase order, and

  3. Inventory and non inventory items against a warehouse purchase order

To receive stock from overseas suppliers or to calculate a landed cost for local purchases please refer to the article Jiwa Landed Costing - Shipments.

The GRN can be created via the purchase order itself or from the menu option Goods Received Note Entry.  

Both methods are described below;
