The Posting packing slip form is used to post a packing slip document and register items as being received from the supplier. A packing slip document is a guarantee that the company has received items. And, items become the company’s property.

The following are the results of a packing slip posting:

• Packing slip document is printed
• Receipt type in the inventory transaction is updated from Registered to Received
• General ledger accounts are posted (depending on the setup)
• The purchase order status is changed to Received (if all purchase order quantities are posted)

The Posting packing slip form has the following view:
