Introduction

This topic will cover receiving items that arrive before the bill is sent to you.

Usage

Use this form to receive items before the vendor has billed you for them (before they send you a bill). If you need to receive and item and enter a bill (the bill came with the item) see the Receive Items and Enter Bill form.

When you receive items and get the bill later, first create an item receipt to let Total Office Manager know you received the items. This way the items will be available for resell and other Total Office Manager users will see that they have been received.

When you receive a bill for these items, you will need to Enter Bill for Received Items. This is your next step.
