When assets arrive at a stockroom and you receive them, a receiving slip is created
on the purchase order. You create a receiving slip line to identify the specific assets and
quantities that were received.

## Before you begin

Role required: procurement_admin or procurement_user

## About this task

If the asset already exists, the asset record is updated when you save the receiving
slip line. If the asset does not already exist, a new hardware or software asset
record is created. The Model category and
Configuration item fields are automatically filled in on
the new asset record based on information in the request, purchase order, or
receiving slip. If Asset Tag and Serial Number information exists, it is not overwritten.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllProcurementReceivingReceiving Slips and open a receiving slip.
2. In the Receiving Slip Lines related list, select New.  
   The following fields are completed automatically.  
   * A Number is assigned.
   * In Received, the current date and time are added.
   * In Received by, the currently logged in user is added.
   {#t_CreateAReceivingSlipLine__ul_f15_vf1_dr}
3. In Purchase Order Line, select the reference lookup icon and select a purchase order line.  
   The Purchase Order Line field is required if the parent receiving slip has an associated purchase order. Only purchase order lines that are associated with the same purchase order linked to the parent receiving slip are available for selection.
4. In Quantity, enter the number of items received.  
   For example, five items were ordered, but only two are being received.
5. **Optional:** Edit the Received by, Requested for, and Unit cost fields, as needed.
6. Select Submit.

## Result

The Receiving stockroom field on the Receiving Slip record becomes read-only.
