GRN (goods receipt note) is the document that would be raised when goods physically receive in the storage area or any prescribed destination. Every organization or business has own priority or reporting requirements therefore, article /goods details would be recorded accordingly. it is also important document for payment support document when vendor submit invoices.

Goods Receipt Note. Signing of GRN WH manager is getting responsibilities for the materials. Before sign he must check and compare such documents as:

- PO, including qty and certificates requirement;- Shipping invoice and packing list;- Mill certificates;- The goods has to be checked by QA/QC department;

So, WH manager have a right to sign GRN only after above documents will be completed. Otherwise he have to issue PDR.

The GRN (Goods Receipt Note) is a document used  when the warehouse staff receives procured goods / materials against a (P.O.) Purchase order so that quantities received is documented into the stock report, stock card, bin card etc.. The GRN could be issued when the PO materials are used completely or partially. The GRN should indicate the materials and quantities of materials with its specifications. The GRN should be signed by the Warehousing Officer or his/her representative and at times and preferably counter signed by the materials requester ( in most cases the project officer or his/her representative).
