Goods Received Notenoun · abbr.

A record confirming what was actually received against a purchase order.

A goods received note documents the quantity and condition of items received from a supplier. It is raised at the point of delivery and checked against the PO.

The GRN is the bridge between procurement and inventory — it updates stock on hand and provides the "received" leg of the three-way match.
