Importance of Goods Received Note (GRN)
GRNs might seem like just paperwork, but they are actually super important for a few reasons:
1. Accuracy: GRNs make sure you got exactly what you ordered, so you do not end up with the wrong stuff, contributing to the prevention of errors in inventory management.
2. Accountability: GRN serves as a means to establish accountability, both for the supplier and the acquiring entity, regarding the reception of goods.
3. Audit Trail: GRNs serve as invaluable components of the audit trail, simplifying financial and inventory audits.
4. Dispute Resolution: If there is ever a disagreement with the supplier about what was delivered, the GRN serves as tangible evidence of the goods received, offering a means for dispute resolution.
