Purchase-Order Receiving

Receive every delivery right — at the door, not at month-end

Import purchase orders from your ERP or by CSV, then receive against them on mobile. Scan to find the PO, receive line-by-line, capture a packing-slip photo, and log variance reasons — with stock updating Shopify on submit.

The problem

Receiving blind is how discrepancies become losses

When deliveries are checked against a paper PO — or barely checked at all — short shipments and damaged goods slip through unnoticed. By the time a month-end count surfaces the gap, the packing slip is gone, the carrier is long departed, and there's nothing left to take back to the supplier.

📄

Paper POs

Ordered quantities live on a printout or buried in an inbox, far from the person actually opening the boxes on the dock.

📉

Silent shortfalls

A carton short or a case damaged goes unrecorded, so you pay for stock that never made it onto your shelves.

🕔

Too late to claim

Discrepancies found weeks later have no evidence attached, so supplier claims stall and write-offs quietly pile up.

Capabilities

Everything you need to receive with confidence

📥

Import from ERP or CSV

Bring purchase orders in straight from your ERP or upload a CSV. Ordered quantities and line items are ready on the floor before the truck ever arrives.

📷

Scan to find, receive line-by-line

Associates scan to pull up the right PO, then receive each line as they unpack — confirming quantities against what was ordered, item by item.

🧾

Required packing-slip photo

Every receipt captures a packing-slip photo before it can be submitted, so there is always a record of exactly what the carrier delivered.

⚠️

Variance reasons on every gap

When received doesn't match ordered, associates log a reason — short, over, damaged, or wrong item — turning a discrepancy into an actionable record.

Shopify integration

Received stock is sellable the moment it hits the dock

On submit, AisleOptix updates Shopify with what you actually received. There's no separate data-entry step and no lag — the delivery is on hand and available across your online store and in-store POS as soon as the receipt is closed.

Supplier accountability

Turn every delivery into leverage with your suppliers

AisleOptix produces a printable variance report for each receipt — ordered vs received vs damaged, with the packing-slip photo and variance reasons attached. Instead of arguing from memory weeks later, you approach suppliers with a clear, evidenced record of what arrived and what didn't.

Ordered vs received vs damaged

A single view of every line: what you ordered, what showed up, and what arrived damaged — no month-end reconciliation needed.

Photo-backed evidence

The packing-slip photo and any damage notes travel with the report, so claims rest on proof rather than recollection.

Catch it at the door

Discrepancies are recorded the moment the delivery is opened — while the carrier is still accountable and the evidence is fresh.

FAQ

Purchase-order receiving questions

How do purchase orders get into AisleOptix?

You can import purchase orders directly from your ERP or upload them by CSV. Ordered quantities and line items are ready in the mobile app before the delivery arrives, so associates receive against a real PO — not a guess.

What happens when a delivery doesn't match the purchase order?

Associates log a variance reason on any line where received doesn't match ordered — short, over, damaged, or wrong item. The gap and its reason are captured on the spot and carried through to the printable variance report.

Does receiving update my Shopify inventory?

Yes. When a receipt is submitted, AisleOptix updates Shopify with the quantities you actually received. The stock is on hand and sellable across your online store and in-store POS without a separate data-entry step.

Is photo evidence required when receiving?

Every receipt requires a packing-slip photo before it can be submitted, and associates can attach photos of any damage. That evidence is stored with the receipt and included in the variance report you share with suppliers.
