A Goods Received Note (GRN) is an internal document produced by the warehouse team after inspecting the goods once they have been delivered at the warehouse.
Recording GRNs in EasyEcom will enable your team to easily locate inventory at your warehouse, and ensure that you only list products across sales channels that meet your quality standards.
There are two ways of recording GRN in EasyEcom. You can either create GRN one-by-one or in bulk.
By following the below-mentioned process you can easily record GRN in the system.
You can create a GRN against a Purchase Order that has been approved.
Select status as “Approved”, and then click on the “View Detail” button.
Once you click on View Details, the Order Details pop-up will be visible on your screen.
Here click on the “GRN” button.
You can now create GRN one-by-one or in bulk.
If you want to record GRN one-by-one click on the “New GRN” button.
Enter Supplier Invoice Id and date. In case you have not received an invoice from your supplier, select “Invoice Later”.
Then click on “Create GRN”.
You can now add items you have received.
To add items, first click on the “Add Item” button.
Enter the SKU code of the inventory received.
You can also enter the Batch Code and any other additional cost incurred in the purchase.
You can enter the Shelf Location and Quality Check status while recording or GRN. In case you want to complete these steps in future click on the “Later” option.
Then click on the “Save” button. If your team always completes shelving and quality check at a later stage, you can remove Shelving and Quality check steps.
To do that, navigate to “Account Settings>>Other Settings”, and disable “Ask QC on new GRN” and “Ask shelving on new GRN” from WMS Settings.
