📦 Quick Guide - Product Receipt into Inventory
To correctly receive a product into inventory (such as when an invoice arrives), follow this sequence:
1️⃣ Create the Product Class
Menu: Inventory > Product & Service Class
Use it to organize products into categories such as Seeds, Fertilizers, Parts, Fuels, etc.
2️⃣ Set up the Product
Menu: Inventory > Product & Service
Enter data such as: code, description, unit, brand, formulation type, active ingredient, among others.
3️⃣ Define the Storage Location
Menu: Inventory > Storage Location
Set up where the products will be stored (e.g., Chemical Shed, Warehouse, Fuel Station).
4️⃣ Set up the Entity
Menu: Inventory > Entity
Set up the invoice's supplier, filling in basic data such as name, CNPJ/CPF and address.
5️⃣ Record the Purchase Order (optional, but recommended)
Menu: Inventory > Purchase Order
Create the order with the desired products, quantities and amounts. It can be used for control and approval before the invoice is received.
6️⃣ Enter the Inbound Movement
Menu: Inventory > Inventory Movement (In & Out)
This is where you record the invoice into inventory.
Fill in the invoice data, select the products and quantities, and indicate the destination location (inventory).
Use report EST.01.01 (formerly 012) - Current inventory to see the balance after the movement.
Use the "View Inventory" button, available on every screen that involves products. It shows the current balance of all products in each storage location.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the sequence for entering a purchase invoice into inventory?
Six steps: create the Product Class, set up the Product, define the Storage Location, set up the Entity (supplier), record the Purchase Order (optional) and, finally, enter the inbound Movement.
Do I have to type all the supplier's data by hand?
No. When you type the CNPJ in the entity record, use the Retrieve data button next to the field: it queries the Receita Federal and brings in the company's complete data.
Is the purchase order required?
No, it is optional — but recommended, especially when the input takes a while to arrive, because it lets you track what was ordered and has not come in yet.
