How to register stock intake from purchases or positive adjustments.

Last updated: 2026-08-11

Whenever you receive products from a supplier, it is important to register the stock intake in Sarah.

Each receiving also creates a stock movement in Shipments (shipments) with source receive, visible in the product detail (Movements tab).

Where to find it

Go to Products and click Receive (truck icon button).

Manual entry

  1. Search or scan products with the barcode gun.
  2. Set deposit and new units to receive.
  3. Optionally enable:
    • Create purchase invoice (requires supplier and unit cost).
    • Update cost — shows system cost vs invoice cost.
    • Update price — uses product margin to calculate the new sale price.
  4. Confirm with Process receiving.

From file (OCR) — Pro Plan

  1. Upload a photo of the invoice or delivery note.
  2. Review columns:
    • Packages/bultos: number of packs on the invoice (Cantidad column).
    • Units/pack: units per pack (e.g. LATAX6 = 6).
    • New units: total entering inventory (packages × units/pack).
    • Previous stock → New units → Final stock.
  3. Search and assign each catalog product.
  4. Review system cost vs invoice cost; if buying on sale, you can Use higher cost.
  5. Confirm receiving.

Purchases and invoices

  • You can create a pending purchase invoice when processing receiving.
  • Optionally record the expense in a cash box (cash, Mercado Pago, etc.): creates a Purchases expense movement linked to the invoice and marks it as paid.
  • Unit cost is calculated by dividing pack price by units per pack (and adding VAT if applicable).
