# createReceipt

mutation · in the family [Inventory operations](/reference/inventory-operations/)

## What it does

Create a new goods receipt — stock arriving from a purchase order at your organization.

CREATE a Receipt: the parent PO RECEIVABLE (issued/acknowledged/partially_received); the receiving LF tenant-scoped + ACTIVE + named by ≥1 PO line; every line addresses a PO line destined to THIS LF (one line per PO-line × disposition; a hold is reason-coded — the law, strict both ways); estimate components ≤8 in the PO currency; up to 90 lines per call (a receipt holds up to 1000 — add more with addReceiptLines).

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Inventory operations** — Receiving, counting, transferring and moving stock.

- Owner

- Associate Manager
- Warehouse Associate
- An API key whose scope allows `api:createReceipt`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [CreateReceiptInput](/types/CreateReceiptInput/) `CreateReceiptInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[Receipt](/types/Receipt/) `Receipt!` — Over-receipt refuses CONFLICT/THREE_WAY_MATCH (the PO declared receive.match_flag form; tolerance ZERO until); under-receipt is partial, first-class — the next receipt is a NEW doc. posted is the immutable NON-doomed fact (corrections are compensating movements, never edits); cancelled is the doomed terminal (lists filter it). Re-running post RESUMES a stalled walk; on a healthy in-flight receipt it refuses CONFLICT/IN_PROGRESS naming the progress; one receipt posts against a purchase order at a time (its receivingReceiptId).
