Receiving From Orders, Ad-Hoc, and Invoices
Galley's receiving workflow is how you increase your theoretical inventory levels based on what you purchased.
Receiving can happen in any of the following ways:
- Receiving from Orders: The primary workflow for receiving is from Purchase Orders. When a purchase order's status is set to sent, the items on that order become receivable. They will appear as expected items on the receiving page for the purchase order's date. These expected items streamline the receiving process.
- Ad Hoc Receiving: Receiving events can be created manually. This workflow is recommended for exceptions where an item is purchased without an actual purchase order, such as last-minute store runs.
- Receiving from Invoices: When using Galley's Invoices Module, it is possible to automatically increase inventory levels based on what you are invoiced. We won't be going through this workflow in our tutorial, so to learn more about receiving from invoices check out the article How to Manage Invoices and Best Practices When Receiving From Invoices. If you would like to add the Invoices Module to your Galley account, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
