Create a Goods Received Note
Description

Once you have set up your default settings for GRNs, you can create a GRN to record the delivery of products against one or multiple orders that you have received.

Sage 50 Accounts keeps a record of the goods received notes that are raised against each purchase order, enabling you to see when items were delivered.

TIP: To improve the way you use Sage Accounts, the toolbar options vary with size of the software window you're using. You can also customise the toolbars to your individual preferences. The instructions in Ask Sage are based on the default toolbars. For more information, please refer to this guide >

 NOTE: You can only use the GRN option for purchase orders which have stock placed on-order. This means that the purchase order you select must show a status of Part or Full in the On-Order column. If you select an order that has no stock placed on-order, the following message appears: 'Not all orders could be delivered or updated.'

  1. Click Purchase orders and select the purchase orders against which you want to record a delivery then click Received note.
  2. Complete the Goods Received Notes window as follows:

    GRN No.The Goods Received Note number appears here automatically. You cannot change this number. If you want to change the number that your goods received notes start from, you can do so in Invoice and Order Defaults.
