Stock Arrivals

A stock arrival is what the supplier delivered — and also their bill.

Receive Stock

Open the arrival (from a PO, or Stock Arrivals → New). For each line you’ll see:

  • Ordered — what the PO asked for
  • DR Qty — what the supplier’s delivery receipt says
  • Received — type what you actually counted

Add the supplier’s invoice date and number, an optional note, then Receive Stock.

The Ordered, DR Qty and Received columns of a stock arrival

Stock goes up by what you counted, and each product’s cost becomes the average of old and new stock.

Short or Extra

You Counted What Happens
Less than the DR Shown in red; you only pay for what arrived
More than the DR Choose: free goods (promo, e.g. 10+1) or overage the supplier bills

Lines that weren’t on the PO get a red dot so they’re easy to question.

Hold a Line From Payment

Untick Pay on a line to keep it out of payments until it’s sorted out with the supplier. It’s still owed.

Undo Receive (Admin)

Received by mistake? Undo Receive (reason required) takes the stock off and returns the arrival to Draft — only if nothing was paid on it and the stock hasn’t been sold.

Not all features are available in every copy of Distribution App. Some features, such as Payment QR Code, Salesman Locations and Signed Delivery Receipts, are add-ons that must first be switched on in Settings › Features. Once the free trial ends, the app needs a license key or activation code. Distribution App runs on Mac and Windows; staff phones and tablets connect through the office computer on the same Wi-Fi network. Tax records, receipts and reports follow Philippine (BIR) rules and may not suit businesses in other countries. Screens in this guide show the Demo Company — all names, addresses and prices are made up — and may look slightly different from your version of the app. Features may change without notice.
