Goods receipt
A goods receipt is a formal document most commonly used for issuing or receiving goods from a warehouse or another type of commercial facility.
A goods receipt is a document accompanying transported goods, containing a description and the quantity of the delivered items. A copy of the delivery document, signed by the buyer or recipient, is returned to the seller or consignor as proof of delivery. Goods receipts can be issued in combination with an invoice. In practice, in some cases of goods handover, the supplier issues a goods receipt, while the buyer issues a warehouse receipt.
When a goods receipt is available, the seller issues an invoice for the transported goods. The warehouse receipt serves as confirmation that the goods have been received. In some cases, issuing only an invoice is sufficient, but this depends on the company’s organization and accounting policy. The only mandatory document, as defined by the Commercial Act and VAT Act, is the invoice.
The option to issue a goods receipt is often a necessity for most Bulgarian companies. Goods receipts significantly facilitate day-to-day office operations. For this reason, the process of issuing a goods receipt is maximally simplified and almost fully automated.
Unlike invoices and pro forma invoices, goods receipts contain the following information:
- Recipient
- Serial number
- Date and place of transaction
- Supplier
- Name of goods or service
- Basis for zero VAT rate or VAT exemption
- Amount payable and additional notes if necessary
