What it does
Post a goods receipt — the received quantities book into stock.
POST a draft Receipt (draft -> posted, -e — 🧱 /: THE WHOLE-DOCUMENT JUDGEMENT first (every gate over every line and every junction BEFORE any write), then the lines land in stock through the chokepoint a chunk at a time under the 100-action transaction budget: a small receipt lands posted in ONE TransactWriteItems; a large one WALKS — draft -> posting -> posted under the document-walk machine — the status reads posting until every line has landed, the header carries the walk (kind post · cursor = the next lineNo to land · chunks · lineCount), a healthy in-flight walk refuses a second post CONFLICT/IN_PROGRESS and re-running post RESUMES a stalled one; a second receipt posting against the SAME PO while one is in flight refuses CONFLICT/IN_PROGRESS naming it (the PO's receivingReceiptId); an EMPTY line set refuses VALIDATION/INVALID): per line a receive movement into on_hand at the LANDED unit cost (the estimate components allocate exactly via allocateProportionally in line order — -h; the value-form re-weight; the currency law gates every touched book) + a disposition reclass companion (hold -> held reason-coded / damage -> damaged — receive lands on_hand ONLY, the law) + missing (variant × LF) junction BIRTHS via the catalogued create-on-receive hatch + StockRecord bin stamps for binned lines + the per-line merchandise/landed split STAMPED on the posted doc + the parent-PO rollup and its system:receipt_posted / system:all_received chain riding the SAME transaction. The LF is ACTIVE-re-checked (SL-b use-time). Over-receipt (cumulative > ordered per PO line) refuses CONFLICT/THREE_WAY_MATCH — the PO's declared receive.match_flag form. Partial receipts are first-class — the next arrival is a NEW Receipt. Requires the doc CURRENT revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability.
What happens
A large receipt walks — the status reads posting until every line has landed in stock; re-run post to resume a stalled walk.
Careful
This changes your on-hand. Receive what actually arrived, not what the paperwork says.

Returns
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).
