## Booking Goods In

Booking goods in is the core inbound process: you create a receipt, receive the goods, confirm receipt tasks, and then put the products away into their storage locations.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a goods receipt">
    On the left-hand menu, click **Goods In** then **Receipts**. Click **+New** to open a new receipt screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter receipt details">
    Complete the following fields in the top section:

    * **Reference**: Product reference for the receipt
    * **Expected Date of Receipt**: Date and time of expected delivery
    * **Account**: Select the vendor account
    * **Warehouse**: Choose the warehouse linked to the vendor
    * **GI Type**: Select **Goods In** or **Return**
    * **Supplier**: Choose the supplier
    * **Carrier**: Select the carrier
    * **Goods In Bay**: Choose the goods-in bay
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add product details">
    In the **Lines** section, enter the product information:

    * **Product**: Select from the dropdown
    * **Storage Unit**: Auto-filled based on the product's unit type
    * **Quantity**: Expected quantity
    * **Storage Unit Quantity**: Number of pallets
    * **Storage Unit Reference**: Optional reference
    * **SBD (Sell By Date)**: If applicable
    * **Batch**: Batch number if required

    Click **Save** when all details are entered.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive the goods">
    After saving, the receipt status changes to **Pending**. Click the **Receive** button to mark the goods as received. The status updates to **Received**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the receipt">
    In the **Receive** tab, confirm each line by clicking **Confirm**, or use the **Confirm All Receive Tasks** button to confirm everything at once.

    <Warning>You must confirm all tasks to fully process the goods. Unconfirmed tasks will leave the receipt incomplete.</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Put away the goods">
    Go to the **Put Away** tab. Confirm each line individually or use **Confirm All Put Away Tasks**. Once all tasks are confirmed, the receipt status changes to **Completed**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordion title="Frequently asked questions">
  **Can I amend the receipt after saving?**
