About Receiving an Order Receipt

Depending on the accounting method you use, the Receive Order Receipt command may create general ledger transactions.

Tax and shipping costs are never received in the Order Receipt window; they are expensed when a user makes the payment in Accounts Payable > Vendor Invoice.

Accrual Accounting Method

Receiving an order receipt releases encumbrances, writes expenditures, and calculates liabilities for the quantity received.

Cash Basis Accounting Method

Receiving an order receipt does not release the encumbrance or recognize the expenditure. Those actions occur when you approve a payment voucher in Accounts Payable > Payment Management.
