# Check In Deliveries

> Count what actually arrived, and only then book it into stock.

**Transactions → Check In Deliveries** is the list of deliveries waiting to be
counted — headed **Deliveries to Check In**. Rows are badged `Draft` or
`Return`. Toggle between **Show only mine** and **Show all deliveries**.

> Stock does not update until you confirm what physically arrived.

That is the whole idea. An invoice — typed, scanned or imported — is a claim
about what was sent. Receiving is where somebody in the back room says what
turned up.

## Count a delivery

The count screen is built for a phone in one hand and a box cutter in the other.

**1. Open the delivery**

It shows "N of M lines counted" as you work.

**2. Count each line**

Three ways, and you can mix them per line:

* **Scan items** — scan each unit as you unpack; the count goes up by one
  (or by a full case if you scan a case barcode).
* **Scan once, then type** — scan to find the line, then key in the number.
* **Steppers or the keyboard** — for anything without a usable barcode.

**Matches invoice** fills in the invoiced quantity when the line is simply
correct.

**3. Watch the badges**

Each line shows `short`, `over`, or a tick. That is your cue to recount
before you confirm rather than after.

**4. Save count**

Saves your progress without posting anything. Come back later, or hand the
phone to someone else.

**5. Confirm delivery**

This is the moment stock moves.

## Working without signal

The back room is the worst place for a phone signal, so counting works offline.
You will see "You're offline. Keep counting — everything is saved on this device
and will sync when you're back in signal."

Counts are stored on the device as you go and sync themselves when the
connection returns. Losing signal mid-delivery does not lose the count.

## Short and over

What you counted is stored **separately** from what was booked, so "I counted
10, the system says 12" is always answerable.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Any line where the counted quantity differs from the invoice automatically
> opens a discrepancy in [B2B Reconciliation](https://sims-bae272dd.mintlify.site/stock/reconciliation.md). Do not
> adjust the number to make it match — record what you counted, and settle the
> difference there, where the reason is captured.

## Receiving a return

A supplier return shows a banner: confirming it **removes** the counted
quantities from stock and credits the supplier. The counting works the same
way; the direction is opposite.

## Doing it at a desk instead

From **Purchase Invoices**, the **Receive** action opens the same job laid out
for a full screen.
