Quick Start: Receive a Shipment
The boxes showed up. Here's how to get them into your system — the fast version. Receiving raises your counts; verifying proves the shipment matched the invoice.
Receive it
- Dashboard → Purchasing → View All Purchase Orders. (Or type "purchase order" in the search box.)
- Find the order for this shipment, select it, and click Edit Purchase Order.
- Go through the items and adjust each quantity to match what actually arrived.
- Enter the vendor's Invoice ID and Invoice Date.
- Click Confirm Received. Your on-hand counts go up automatically and labels print.
Only part of it arrived? Receive what came in now. The rest stays open on the same PO — receive against it again when it shows up.
Verify it (recommended)
- With the received order selected, click Mark Verified.
- Scan each box as you unpack. Lines turn from red to green as they complete.
- Highlight anything that isn't coming and click Move to Backorder.
- Click Finalize Verification and answer the prompts for anything short or extra.
The order is now Verified and locked. Done.

One-time setting worth knowing
If your shop recounts stock as shipments arrive, you can have TORO prompt you to count received items automatically — see Rolling Inventory.
