This is what happens in the video

You can create a warehouse receipt directly from the source document in Business Central, whether that is a purchase order, a sales return order, or a transfer order. The source document must be released before you can create the receipt.

When you post the warehouse receipt, Business Central automatically creates a warehouse put-away based on the received quantities.

Creating a warehouse receipt from the source document

The warehouse receipt can be created directly from the source document. This can be a purchase order, a sales return order, or a transfer order.

Start by opening the document and make sure it is released. Then go to Actions, choose Warehouse, and create a warehouse receipt related to that source document.

The warehouse receipt opens automatically when you create it, and you can see the lines from the source document inserted into the receipt.

Entering quantities and posting the receipt

From the warehouse receipt, you can enter the quantity to receive. When you post the warehouse receipt, it creates a warehouse put-away so the items can be moved to their storage locations.
