This article explains the Receivings feature of Stock Management in Bravo, which functions like a Purchase Order but skips the ordering steps.
It's mainly used for receiving inventory ordered outside of Bravo directly into store inventory without tracking the order process.
Receivings combine the following Bravo functionalities:
- Add General Merchandise
- Add Jewelry
- Add to SKU
This enhances user experience and provides a complete inventory history.
