Update existing goods receipt
This action requires the "update goods receipt" permission.
Goods receipts should generally not be updated, because they serve as a critical record for stock inventory, procurement, and financial processes.
Altering them can compromise data integrity and disrupt dependent workflows. Goods receipts are tied to stock transactions, ensuring that inventory levels accurately reflect the physical stock. If updated, problems can arise, leading to mismatched stock records and potential issues with availability for sales, production and development.
Goods receipts are linked to purchase and work orders, invoices, and financial entries. To maintain accuracy and ensure accountability, any errors in goods receipts should be addressed using proper correction processes, such as canceling/deletion and re-entry, rather than direct updates, when possible. This preserves data integrity and ensures that all dependent workflows and records remain consistent and reliable.
If dates in the goods receipts need to be updated, that is only possible in cases, when the goods receipt's material has not been transfers or used after being received.
