Chick Receiving is used when chicks are purchased using a purchase order.  The receiving document is a generalized document throughout the system used for all receivings in the different modules.

The following procedures are outlined in the Chick Receiving document:

• Creating a Chick Receiving Transaction
• General
• Delivery Details
• Instructions
• Posting a Chick Receiving Transaction

Post a Chick Receiving

Once the chick receiving transaction has been created and saved, the receiving needs to be posted. The posting process locks the chick receiving transaction to prevent edits, populates the entities' fields with data, and creates the journal transaction to record the liability. The UnPost option unlocks the receiving and reverses the journal transactions. *Note: A Chick Receiving transaction cannot be posted or un-posted if the entity has a corresponding Posted Movement transaction.

1. In the Chick Receivings main index, select the required transaction and right-click to select 'Post'. Alternatively, click the green check mark  in the top menu bar and select 'Post'.

Journal Transaction

The posting process creates the journal transaction. When the receiving transaction is posted, the journal transaction is created to debit the delivery to the farm or entity and credit the accrued payable transaction. When the purchase invoice is posted, the journal transaction will debit the accrued payable transaction and credit the accounts payable.
