Overview: Receiving in ShipHero

Receiving is how inventory enters ShipHero. You receive against a purchase order (PO) or an inbound shipment, scan inventory into a location, and then put it away. The location you receive into decides whether the inventory is added to your store availability right away. See Receiving Location Best Practices in ShipHero.
