A Goods Received Note (GRN) in Zoho Inventory is created when purchased items physically arrive at your warehouse. Confirming a GRN increments your stock on hand for the received items and triggers the creation of a vendor bill for the received quantities.
You can receive partial quantities against a purchase order. Zoho Inventory tracks how much has been received versus ordered, keeping the purchase order open until all items are received or you manually close it.
Some businesses use the GRN step as a quality control checkpoint, inspecting goods before confirming receipt. Items that fail inspection can be rejected and a vendor credit requested rather than posting the full quantity to stock.
