Receivals serve multiple functions in operations and compliance.
Why receivals matter
Audit trail: permanent record of what arrived, when, and from which run
Quantity verification: confirms collected vs received amounts
Inventory accuracy: triggers balance updates
Compliance: supports chain of custody requirements
Billing: helps confirm quantities for invoicing and disputes
Completion: finalises tasks/jobs after verification
Issue detection: flags mismatches for review
