Record Your First GRN (Receive Stock)

A Goods Receive Note, or GRN, is how stock physically enters a warehouse — whether that's opening stock for a brand-new product or a real delivery from a supplier.

1. Create the GRN

1. Go to Purchasing → Good Receive Note.
2. Click New and choose the supplier and warehouse.
3. Add each product you're receiving and the quantity.
4. If the product tracks batches, serial numbers, or expiry dates, enter those too.

2. Post it

1. Review the quantities, then click Post.
2. Posting is what actually increases stock on hand — a saved-but-unposted GRN doesn't move stock yet.

:::info Billing comes later A GRN records the physical receipt. When the supplier's bill arrives, create a purchase invoice and link it to this GRN, so stock isn't counted twice. :::
