When goods arrive from the vendor, you validate the receipt in Odoo to update stock and allow billing.

Process lifecycle

Ready Received
1

Access the receipt

Purchase ▸ Orders ▸ Purchase Orders ▸ (open PO) ▸ RECEIVE PRODUCTS

Click the Receive Products button on a confirmed purchase order, or access it via the receipt smart button at the top of the PO. The receipt shows the products and quantities expected based on the PO.

2

Validate the receipt

When goods arrive, open the receipt and enter the actual received quantities in the Done column. If everything arrived as ordered, click Validate. If only part of the order arrived, enter the partial quantities and validate — Odoo creates a backorder for the remainder.

Backorders When you receive partial quantities and validate, Odoo asks whether to create a backorder for the missing items. Click Create Backorder to keep the remaining quantity open. The original PO shows two receipts — one validated, one waiting.
3

Lot and serial number tracking

If the product is tracked by lot number or serial number, the Done column will not be available until you assign numbers. Click the detail icon on the receipt line to open the lot/serial assignment window. Scan or type the lot/serial numbers for the received quantities before validating.
