# Why a goods receipt is locked

> Understand why posted goods receipts cannot be edited normally and what to check when a GRN needs correction or posting review.

A goods receipt becomes locked when its procurement status is terminal, especially after posting. The current editor explicitly blocks edits to a posted receipt and directs the user toward an adjustment instead.

## Why Lynka locks it

The receipt can already have changed stock and Accounting. Editing quantities in place would make the movement history and financial history disagree with the transaction that was originally posted.

## If the receipt has not been posted

Check the current status and your goods-receipt management permission. Some procurement transitions can still lock the document even before you reach a specific edit screen.

## If the receipt is posted

Do not change the product's stock number manually to compensate. Use the supported adjustment or correction path so the inventory movement ledger remains explainable.

If the receipt appears in posting review, investigate the posting result. Lynka also has a **Goods receipt posting issue** automation for posted receipts whose inventory lines were not applied cleanly.

## If you entered the wrong supplier delivery

Determine whether the problem is quantity, classification between accepted/damaged/on-hold, purchase-order link, or an entirely duplicate receipt. The correction should address the source mistake without hiding the original posted record.
