Receive Item function only available on Financio Premier. 

In everyday business situations, sending and receiving orders for items (inventory) is very common. However, there are also situations where the business receives items before a bill is issued for an order. Similarly, there are also situations where ordered items are received in stages and the bill will only be issued/ released when the order has been fully received. Here’s how you can record Receive Item (in advance) in Financio: 

There are 3 ways for you to get to the purchases receive item page in Financio.

Note: Ensure you have activated the inventory tracking for your product.

On the Receive Item page:
