The goods receipt is the document that brings stock into inventory — it is the entry point of everything you later cook, count, or waste. The supplier return is its counterpart: stock that leaves because you send it back. Where you work: BOH → Movements — Goods receipts (/boh/admin/operations/goods-receipts) and Supplier returns (/boh/admin/operations/supplier-returns).

​
Goods receipts

When merchandise arrives, record a receipt with the supplier, the store, and one line per item received: quantity, unit, and unit cost. Confirming the receipt creates the stock and its lots (one per line), which later feed FIFO/FEFO consumption.

Record a receipt

1

Open the receipt form

Movements → Goods receipts → Create (/boh/admin/operations/goods-receipts/new).
2

Pick store and supplier

Optionally link the receipt to a confirmed purchase order — lines are pre-filled from the pending PO quantities.
3

Enter the lines

Quantity in the unit you actually received (e.g. “1 bag of 25 kg”), plus the unit cost. BOH converts to the item’s base unit internally.
4

Confirm

The receipt is queued for processing; within seconds the stock movements are posted and balances update.

Receiving against a PO allows over-receiving (more than ordered) — the difference is simply recorded. When every PO line is fully received, the PO moves to Received automatically.

​
Cancel a receipt

From the receipt detail (/boh/admin/operations/goods-receipts/{id}) you can cancel it: BOH posts the opposite movements and the stock leaves inventory again. Use this for receipts recorded by mistake; if the merchandise is physically going back to the supplier, prefer a supplier return.

​
Supplier returns

A supplier return records merchandise you send back — wrong product, damaged goods, quality issues. Each line indicates the item, the quantity, and its condition (good or damaged); you can also point at the original receipt for traceability.
1

Open the return form

Movements → Supplier returns → Create (/boh/admin/operations/supplier-returns/new).
2

Pick store and supplier

3

Enter the lines

Item, quantity, condition, and optionally the source receipt/lot.
4

Confirm

Stock is deducted from the corresponding lots (oldest first if you did not pick a specific lot).

Record returns at the moment the truck leaves, not at the end of the week. Stock reports (and the suggested order) are only as accurate as the timing of your documents.
