GRN
Goods Receipt Note
A Goods Receipt Note (GRN) is the document recording the actual receipt of goods into a warehouse or facility. It captures: physical quantity received (counted, not assumed), condition (damaged, short-shipped, expired), pack details (cartons, pallets, container seals), receipt date, and any discrepancies against the original purchase order (PO) or ASN.
The GRN is the trigger event for: inventory updates in WMS, three-way matching against PO and supplier invoice, putaway workflow, and supplier performance scoring. In modern systems, GRN is generated digitally at the receiving dock via barcode/RFID-enabled mobile apps.
