Goods Inwards Note in Retail POS
Goods inwards notes is one of the purchase transaction screen. This screen used as confirmation transaction before purchase entry. Many times supplier will send more stock than what user request for to increase supplier profit, but it is not good for user’s business. Since more stock is dumped at store and warehouse, the wastage of stock will get increased and also the maintenance cost of goods at store and warehouse will increased, so it will lead to user business’s profit loss. This goods inwards note (GIN) screen will prevent this kind of profit loss, by providing the approval feature.
