Recording Incoming Inventory
Learn how to record stock arrivals from suppliers, track batch costs, and use barcode scanning for faster data entry.
How Receiving Works
The receiving form is split into two panels. Select items on the left, then configure quantities and costs on the right.
Selecting Items
The item selector shows all inventory items with checkboxes. Selected items move to the receiving list. Low stock and out of stock items are highlighted.

Barcode Scanning
Three methods are available for barcode entry, so you can use whichever is most convenient for your workflow.
- Type or paste
- Enter the barcode or SKU directly into the search field. Matching items are shown instantly as you type.
- Camera scan
- Tap the camera icon to open the device camera. Point at a barcode and the item is detected automatically.
- External scanner
- Bluetooth or USB barcode scanners work automatically. The scanner types the barcode into the focused search field and presses Enter.
Setting Quantities and Costs
Each item in the receiving list shows the current stock, a quantity input, and the resulting new total. When cost tracking is enabled, batch cost and weighted average calculations appear below.
