+
+## Before a delivery can be received
+
+Open the order from `Orders`. **Receive delivery** appears on an order that is `Ordered`, `Shipped` or `Back Order`. A draft has to be marked ordered first, and a received or cancelled order can't be received again. **Mark shipped** is optional and changes nothing about receiving.
+
+The `Units received` tile shows how many units have arrived against how many were ordered.
+
+## Ticking the lines
+
+The `Receive delivery` dialog lists each line of the order:
+
+- `Outstanding`: ordered less already received.
+- `Arrived`: filled in with the outstanding figure. Change it to what is in the box.
+- `Destination`: `Shelf`, or `Pickup` when the order is for a staff member. A staff member's order starts on `Pickup`; an order for stock has only `Shelf`.
+- `Invoiced cost`: the unit cost on the invoice, filled in with the catalogue cost.
+
+**Scan items off the box (camera)** adds 1 to a line for each garment scanned, and names a garment that isn't on the order.
+
+An arrived figure above the outstanding one is refused. Book surplus in with `Adjust quantity › Receive` on `Stock › On hand`, which records it as received without an order. At least one line needs a quantity.
+
+## Invoice, date and price
+
+1. **Enter the invoice number.** It is kept on the delivery and on the order.
+2. **Check the arrival date.** It starts on today.
+3. **Add a note** if something was wrong, and **Photo the invoice** if you want the invoice on file.
+4. **Check any price flag.** When an invoiced cost differs from the catalogue, the line shows both. **Keep** leaves the catalogue alone; **Update catalogue cost** (Admin) changes it and adds a price history entry.
+5. **Receive.**
+
+Delivered units are valued at the invoiced cost from then on, on the order and in the order's CSV; anything still outstanding is valued at the catalogue cost.
+
+## Short lines become a back order
+
+Receiving closes the order as `Received`, whatever arrived. Anything short is moved onto a new order:
+
+- Status `Back Order`, for the same supplier, person, cost centre and supplier reference.
+- Its note reads `Back order — short on` and the original order number.
+- Its expected date is today plus the supplier's lead time, or 14 days when none is set.
+
+The two orders link to each other: the back order says which order it came from, and the original lists its back orders. A back order is received the same way, and anything short on it goes to another back order. Cancel a back order the supplier won't fill with **Cancel order** (Admin).
+
+## Where the garments go
+
+- **Shelf** lines are added to stock on hand for their sizes straight away.
+- **Pickup** lines are not put on the shelf. They become one pickup for the staff member, which appears on the [pickup call list](/docs/counter/pickup-call-list). Marking it picked up records the garments as issued to that person.
+
+The order's `History` panel adds a `Delivery received` entry with the invoice number, each line and where it went, and an **Invoice photo** button when one was taken. A received order's details are locked.
+
+> **Careful** There is no undo for a delivery once received; a wrong quantity is corrected on the shelf with Adjust quantity.
+
