1. Features
The inbound details page shows a shipment's full lifecycle — from plan to counting to putaway: what you told the warehouse would arrive (the plan), what the warehouse actually received and in how many batches (the receipts), whether the two differ, and which stage it is currently at. This is where you track a single shipment and confirm whether the records match reality.

1.1 Basic Info & Actions
The top of the page lists this order's basic info; a few fields are worth explaining:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Inbound Barcode | A system-generated barcode for the inbound order, for the warehouse to scan |
| Arrived At | When the warehouse started putting away |
| Received At | When the warehouse finished counting |
| Putaway At | When everything was put away |
| Related Return Order | Shown only for the "Sales Return" type; click through to the return order |
The action buttons at the top right appear based on the current status:
- Edit: Appears only in "Pending" status; opens Edit Inbound.
- Print: Download this order's PDF or product labels (see Other Info).
- Resume: Appears only in "Canceled" status; restores the order back to "Pending".
- Cancel: Appears only in "Pending" status; voids the order (preconditions and effects in FAQ).
1.2 Plan & Receipts
This is the core of the details page, designed to be read side by side:
Expected Plan: Each product you entered when creating the order. Every item shows three quantities — planned (Scheduled Qty), received (Received Qty) and put away (Putaway Qty) — the latter two with a number, percentage and color indicating completion (their relationship and color legend are in Inbound List). In addition:
- An exclamation icon next to a number means the batch, expiration date, manufacturing date, inventory type or custom attributes the warehouse actually received differ from your plan.
- A multi-batch marker means this product was received and completed across several counts.
Receipts: Each time the warehouse receives a batch, it creates a receipt record; this section lists each batch with the actual contents received, the completion time of each batch, and the verifier. If a record's batch, expiration date or manufacturing date differs from the plan, that field is highlighted in red so you can spot the difference at a glance. Items marked "Unplanned" are products the warehouse received that were not in your original plan.
1.3 Other Info
- History: A complete record of every change to this order (created, edited, receiving started, counting completed, canceled, resumed, etc.); edits also show the before-and-after differences.
- Integration Logs: If this order came from a connected external system, you can view the integration requests and responses here.
- Value-Added Services: Extra services and billing items the warehouse provided for this shipment (if any).
- Serial Numbers: A searchable list of the product serial numbers recorded during this order's receiving.
- Print: From "Print", choose to download the inbound PDF or product labels; after the system generates the file, a download link appears in your notifications.
2. FAQ
Quick Navigation: FAQ | Important Notes
2.1 FAQ
▪ What's the difference between planned, received and put away?
Planned is the quantity you expected to send, received is the quantity the warehouse actually counted, and put away is the quantity placed on shelves ready to sell. Their relationship and the completion colors are fully explained in Inbound List.
▪ What does the exclamation icon next to an item mean?
It means what the warehouse received differs from your plan — possibly the batch, expiration date, manufacturing date, inventory type or custom attributes. Expand the receipts and the mismatching field is highlighted in red for line-by-line comparison.
▪ Where do "Unplanned" items come from?
When receiving, the warehouse received a product that was not listed in your plan, so the system records it as an unplanned item. This usually means the supplier sent extra or wrong goods — confirm with the supplier or warehouse.
▪ Why does an item have a multi-batch marker?
It means the product was not received all at once, but counted across several batches. The quantity and time of each batch are shown in the receipts.
▪ How do I cancel an inbound order, and what happens to inventory?
Only orders in "Pending" status with no receipt records yet can be canceled ("Production" and transfer-related types cannot be canceled). Since nothing has been received, canceling does not affect any inventory; if the order came from a purchase order, canceling also reverts the purchase order's receiving status. To undo a cancellation, use "Resume".
▪ Can a canceled inbound order be recovered?
Yes. An order in "Canceled" status shows "Resume"; resuming returns it to "Pending" for reuse. "Production" and transfer-related types are the exception and cannot be resumed.
▪ Where do I get the printed PDF or labels?
From "Print", choose what to download; the system starts generating the file, and a download link appears in your notifications when it's ready.
▪ How do I see who changed this order and when?
Check the History — every change records the time and the operator, and edit-type changes also list the before-and-after differences.
2.2 Important Notes
⚠️ Important Reminders
- Canceling is limited to orders in "Pending" status with nothing received yet; once the warehouse starts counting, it cannot be canceled.
- If the order came from a purchase order, canceling also reverts the purchase order's receiving status.
- "Production" and transfer-related types cannot be canceled or resumed.
