Receive stock books a delivery from a supplier onto the shelf. Each line puts its units on a SKU that keeps its stock, and the delivery is recorded in that SKU's stock history, dated the day it arrived. It is offered to whoever works on the stock, on a store that keeps its own.
A delivery
- Lines
- Each SKU received, its units and what one unit cost. Leave the unit cost blank to use the SKU's own. When a product's other variants came too, the line naming one offers to add them, a line each.
- Delivery costs
- Postage, duty and anything else the delivery cost, shared across its lines by value or by quantity.
- Landed unit cost
- Each line's unit cost plus its share of the delivery costs: what the units are carried at. It is blended with the units already on the shelf, so the SKU's unit cost becomes the weighted average. A SKU a sales channel brought in without its cost takes the landed cost of a line with a unit cost typed as its own, the units already on its shelf included.
- Funded by
- Your own money, or a funder's card. A processor's delivery comes off at their discount, and they are owed for it from the day it arrives; an investor is owed for each unit once it leaves the shelf, and shares in the profit it makes.
On a phone or tablet, Scan barcodes counts a delivery in with the camera: each item whose barcode comes into view adds one unit to the line holding its SKU or barcode, or starts a line for it. An item held still counts once, so take it out of view before the next.
A delivery is stock, not an expense: its cost reaches your profit through the orders that sell its units.
Correcting or deleting one
A delivery opens from the SKU's stock history. Correct it to change its lines, units or costs: the units and the unit cost move as if it had been entered right on the day it arrived. Delete takes its units back off the shelf, with Undo. A delivery a funder paid for is never corrected below the units that have already left the shelf, nor deleted while any have, and a delivery dated on or before the Lock date stays as it is.
Common questions
Why is my delivery not an expense?
Goods you sell are a cost of the sale that sells them, so they count as cost of goods sold when they are sold. Counting them as an expense on the day they arrive would take their cost off a month that sold none of them.
