There are several ways to receive inventory in the Order Manager. You can use the method that best suits your business. Non-Purchase Order Items refers to items that were not ordered on a purchase order, i.e., you do not use Purchase Orders within the Order Manager. If the items you are receiving are part of a purchase order, you should receive them through the Purchase Orders window. See the section, Receiving Inventory for Purchase Orders in the Managing Purchase Orders document, for more information.

The Receive button on the Inventory window allows you to receive items into the inventory database.
Complete the following steps to receive items individually:

Click the Receive button on the Inventory window. The system displays the Receive Inventory window for the selected SKU:
Enter the number of items to receive in the Quantity to Add field.
Enter the Cost per Unit that was paid for the items.
Select whether you want to Print Barcoded Labels for the newly received items. You will be prompted to enter how many labels to print if you select this checkbox.
Note: The format of the bar code labels will depend on the setting in the system parameter BarcodeLabelTemplate.
Click the OK button.
The system adds the number that you entered to the item’s Quantity on Hand.
