# Goods receipts in Lynka

> Learn how Lynka goods receipts record accepted, damaged, and on hold quantities and how posting affects inventory after supplier deliveries.

A goods receipt records what physically arrived from a supplier. It is the receiving evidence for a purchase order and should describe the delivery as it happened, including shortages, damage or stock that cannot yet be accepted.

Open **Inventory > Goods Receipts** to create and review receipts.

## Information on a receipt

The current receipt flow includes a receipt number, receipt date, received time or context, status, linked purchase order and received lines.

For each line, you can distinguish quantities such as:

* accepted
* damaged
* on hold
* total received

A receipt needs a receipt number and at least one received quantity before it can represent a real delivery.

## Draft versus posted

Creating a receipt does not mean inventory has already been updated. Review the quantities first, then post the receipt when it is ready to apply the stock effect.

Once posted, the current UI treats the receipt as locked. If the historical event needs correction, use the supported corrective or adjustment path instead of editing a posted receipt as if it never happened.

## Receiving exceptions

Lynka can surface receiving problems through automation, including **Damaged stock received**, **Received stock on hold** and **Goods receipt posting issue**.

Those warnings are operational signals, not cosmetic labels. Investigate them before assuming the delivery is clean.
