What is included?
- Purchase orders with statuses from draft to closed
- Control of the expected delivery date and overdue deliveries
- Receipt against an order and receipt without an order
- Discrepancies: shortage, surplus, defect, missorting
- Return to supplier from the receipt and a claim in A3.Lawyer in one step

Frequently asked questions
Can goods be received without a purchase order?
Yes. A receipt without an order is allowed, and when posted it creates a goods receipt in the same way as a receipt against an order.
What happens to the order if a delivery is short?
The quantity in the order is not overwritten. The discrepancy is recorded as a decision in the receipt, and the order moves to the “Partially received” status.
