Set up gate entry tracking
A process in any organization, used to keep track of entrance and exit of materials or other entities, to and from the organization’s premises, is termed as Gate Entry.
This functionality provides the facility to keep the record of the gate entries (Inward/Outward) of the goods and also helps in relating these entries with the Purchase Order / Transfer Order / Sales Order / Return Orders.
Gate entries record the physical movement of goods and support an audit trail. Posting a gate entry creates a posted gate entry record; it doesn't post the source purchase, sales, or transfer document.
Types of gate entries
Inward Gate Entry provides the facility to create Inward Gate Entry against:
- Purchase Order / Purchase Invoice
- Transfer Receipt
- Sales Return Order / Sales credit Memo
Outward gate entries reference posted outbound documents:
- Sales shipments
- Transfer shipments
- Purchase return shipments
