Receiving is where procurement meets reality. If receipts live in a register or a spreadsheet, the gap between what was ordered and what actually arrived stays invisible until the invoice forces the question.
Cimmra records every goods and service receipt against its PO lines, handles partials, returns, and QC holds explicitly, and hands clean receipt data to invoice matching, so the 3-way match works on facts.
GRN and SRN against PO lines
Goods receipts and service entries recorded line by line against the order, with quantities and dates captured at the dock.
Partials, returns, and QC holds
Partial deliveries, rejections, and quality holds are first-class states, not notes in a margin.
Feeds 3-way matching
Receipt data flows directly into invoice matching, so clean invoices pass untouched and variances surface with reasons.
How it works
- A delivery or service milestone arrives against an open PO.
- The receiver records the GRN or SRN against the PO lines.
- Shortages, rejections, and QC holds are flagged with reasons.
- Receipt data feeds invoice matching and supplier performance scorecards.
Frequently asked questions
Does fulfilment handle services as well as goods?
Yes. Service receipt notes record milestones and effort against service POs, giving services the same receiving discipline as goods.
How are partial deliveries handled?
Receipts record exactly what arrived per line. The PO stays open for the balance, and the invoice match uses received quantities, not ordered ones.
Can quality holds block payment?
Yes. Quantities under QC hold are excluded from the matchable balance until released, so you do not pay for goods you may reject.
Does receiving data feed supplier scorecards?
Yes. On-time and in-full delivery performance is computed from actual receipts, which keeps supplier scorecards factual.
