Receive stock: register product quantities without a purchase order

Use Receive stock when you need to add quantity to products without going through a purchase order receipt. It is useful for opening stock, small manual receipts, returns into inventory, or correcting a missing receipt after stock has physically arrived.

Open the receipt form

  1. Open Inventory → Stock Operations.
  2. In the Receive stock panel, choose the Receipt stock location.
  3. Select the Warehouse and, if you use bin locations, the Warehouse location.
  4. Set the Movement date.
  5. Confirm the Currency and add a Reference such as a delivery note, supplier reference, or opening stock batch.

Enter the products received

  1. Click Add line for each product or variant you received.
  2. Select the Product and, where needed, the Product variant.
  3. Enter the Quantity received.
  4. Enter the Unit cost. Use zero only when the stock should be recorded without a cost value.
  5. Review the Unit code and add Notes if the line needs context.

Post the receipt

  1. Check that the warehouse, currency, and line quantities are correct.
  2. Click Post receipt.
  3. NexerIQ shows Stock operation completed when the receipt has been recorded.

Posting the receipt increases On hand quantity at the selected warehouse or location. The product's Inventory tab and stock movement history update from the receipt you just posted.

Good to know

  • Receipt quantities must be greater than zero.
  • Unit cost cannot be negative.
  • Only inventory-tracked products appear in the product picker.
  • If you are receiving against a purchase order, use the Procurement receiving flow instead so purchasing and supplier records stay connected.

Tip — use a clear reference on manual receipts. It makes later stock reviews much easier because the movement has a meaningful trail.
