A Direct Goods Received Note handles the acknowledgment of the provision of goods sent by a supplier without having the need to refer to a Purchase Order for the transaction. The content included in this document includes details of Suppliers such as Supplier Name, Supplier Invoice Number, and item details regarding the goods received.
Direct GRNs are important as it acts as a confirmation for businesses that the requested order or delivery was sent by the supplier and marked as received.
Benefits of using Direct Goods Received Notes
Direct Goods Received Notes are crucial for finance teams to verify that there are no discrepancies between the invoice and the goods received. Documenting a Direct GRN is also a faster process than documenting a GRN as there is no Purchase Order to be referenced in the process.
How do a Direct Goods Received Note Work?
The typical process involved in documenting a Direct Goods Received Note is as follows,
1. Firstly, the customer receives the goods from a supplier.
2. Then a physical verification is performed to confirm that the quantities of the received
goods are accurate.
3. Once the goods are verified, the company issues a Direct Goods Received Note and a
copy is sent to the supplier confirming the receipt of the requested goods.
