Answer

Use Check GRN immediately after purchase-bill entry to confirm the supplier, quantities, item lines and totals match the stock that actually arrived.

Before you start

  • Know the purchase bill or supplier reference you want to verify.
  • Have the physical delivery or supplier note available for comparison.
  • Make sure no one is still editing the receiving entry before you review it.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open Check GRN and search for the receiving record using the date, supplier or GRN reference.
  2. Compare the saved line items, quantities and totals against the actual delivery.
  3. Confirm serialized item references and any pricing-sensitive data before closing the review.
  4. Escalate or correct the receiving flow quickly if the GRN does not match the stock that arrived.

How to confirm it worked

  • The GRN line count and quantities match the delivered items.
  • The supplier and document references match the purchase bill.
  • No unexpected item, duplicate or missing serialized record appears in the receipt.

Common mistakes

  • Checking the right GRN against the wrong supplier invoice.
  • Reviewing only the total without checking the item lines.
  • Ignoring a mismatch because stock already appears in the system.
