Receive finished units
Receiving is how finished units become stock. A build does not have to finish all at once.
Receive in batches
A build of 100 that finishes 40 today is one receipt of 40, at the cost accrued so far, in its own lot. The remaining 60 come later as their own receipt, with their own cost.
Record a receipt
From the work order, receive the quantity finished. You are asked for:
- How many units are being received.
- When the build finished. Back-date it if it finished earlier. The date drives the costing and the stock movement, not just the record.
- Whether this finishes the build, which decides if the order moves to Completed.
- Serial numbers, where the item is serialised.
The units are received into a lot of their own, carrying the cost the build has accrued.
Where they land
Received units go to a system default location, not straight onto a shelf.
They become available after they have been put away and their location is recorded.
Move them with a normal relocation once they are put away.
The cost
Each receipt is costed from what was actually issued into the build by that point — not from what the BOM estimated.
See How a build is costed for what that means in practice.
Track serial numbers and components
Where the finished item is serialised, you name the units produced. Partix records which components went into which unit where it can work it out.
Automatic component links require a single-unit receipt
When a receipt produced exactly one unit, the components issued to that build are unambiguously that unit's. Anything else needs the operator to say which component went into which unit, and Partix does not guess — it leaves the link empty rather than recording a pairing that would read as fact.
When the build is finished
There is no separate complete button. The receipt that accounts for the last units is what completes the order. It moves to Completed, stamps the finish date, and issues any material held for backflush.
A receipt finishes the build by default once received plus scrapped reaches the ordered quantity. The switch on the form lets you say otherwise.
A build cannot be finished with units unexplained
Turning on This finishes the build while units are neither received nor scrapped is refused, naming how many are unaccounted for.
This matters for cost. Finishing early still issues the material planned for the whole build, and that cost is divided across only the units received, which inflates unit cost silently. Report the missing units as scrap first.
Completing is not closing. Close the order when all costs are final. See Complete and close.
