2. Receive Inventory

Once ordered material arrives at your facility, go to the receiving page in DataNinja. Open the corresponding PO synced over from QuickBooks. 

Choose the Purchase Order line item that matches the inbound material and tap Receive.

Enter details like Lot Number, Expiration Date, and Quantity based on the material part number’s Unit of Measure (UOM)

Place the automatically printed barcodes on your inventory bags/containers/pallets.

If your quality standards require inspection of incoming materials before they can be released for use, setup a customized inventory inspection workflow so an electronic inspection document is presented to the employee right after labels are printed.

Once all delivered inventory is received successfully. Tap “Complete Receipt” in DataNinja to automatically issue a balancing Expense (Bill) in QuickBooks for the quantity received.
