HHT : Auto GRN (GRN without PO)
Software Plan: Growth & Enterprise
Account Type: Seller Account, Aggregator, 3PL
Inventory Type: Serialized
Feature Description
Auto GRN is a type of Goods Receipt Note (GRN) that is created without a Purchase Order (PO). Unlike the standard GRN process where goods are received against a planned PO, Auto GRN is used for unplanned or ad-hoc deliveries. It helps record and acknowledge the receipt of goods when there is no prior procurement document, ensuring inventory is updated even for unexpected stock arrivals.
Use Case
A seller receives an unexpected shipment of packing materials (like boxes or bubble wrap) from a regular supplier. However, the seller did not raise a Purchase Order (PO) for this delivery due to the urgent need and prior verbal confirmation with the vendor.
To ensure the inventory system accurately reflects this new stock, the warehouse team uses the Auto GRN feature to record the receipt of these materials. This allows the seller to:
- Acknowledge the receipt of goods formally, even without a PO.
- Maintain inventory accuracy, so these materials are available for use in order packing.
- Keep a record of the unplanned delivery for future reconciliation with the supplier.
If the account is serialised and USN 5 is active, then the user can perform GRN without a Purchase Order in the Android App.
