Select this receive the shipment into stock. The last generated inspection GRN number used is displayed when you receipt a line on a shipment into inspection, and GRN numbering is not set to manual (Purchase Orders Setup - GRN Tab).

For foreign currency receipts, the exchange rate used for the receipt is the exchange rate applicable at the time the purchase order was attached to the shipment, assuming a fixed exchange rate was not used. The local merchandise cost is calculated at the time the purchase order is attached to the shipment. Subsequent changes to the exchange rate do not change local merchandise cost and are ignored for purposes of the shipment receipt. If you maintain the consignment details prior to processing the receipt, then the local merchandise cost is recalculated based on the current exchange rate. Therefore, the local merchandise value is calculated and saved either when the purchase order is attached to the shipment or when the line is maintained. If you selected the options: Include landed costs in last cost (Purchase Orders Setup - LCT tab) and Apply cost multiplier when processing receipts (Inventory Setup - General tab), then the cost multiplier value is included in the receipt cost of the item. You use the Warehouses for Stock Code program to define a cost multiplier against an item. When you receive an item into stock, the warehouse cost is updated with the actual cost of the shipment. However, if you have not posted any invoices, then the invoice count is 0 and the expected cost is used as the basis for any calculations. You will need to enter additional information if:
