Streamlining GRN Processing with the PO Receipt Entry Import Utility

By | December 24, 2025

Managing purchase order receipts specially when the receipts contains serial or lot items which can be time-consuming and error-prone. To automate and simplify this process and reducing the manual work we have developed a PO Receipt Entry Import utility (GRN Import) that allows users to import receipt details directly into the Sage 300 including regular items and serial/lot items.

This Import utility is designed for PO receipt (GRN) creation faster, more accurate and easy to manage even when handling large volumes of data.

Why This GRN Import Utility Was Created

In many businesses, GRN processing often requires:

  • Entering receipt details manually
  • Tracking serial/lot numbers for specific items
  • Making sure all quantities and item data match the original purchase order

When dealing with dozens or hundreds of items, this becomes tedious. The import utility eliminates repetitive tasks and ensures data accuracy by allowing users to prepare everything in Excel and import it in just a few clicks.

How the Import utility will work:

1. Receipt Information Sheet

The essential receipt details are stored on this sheet, including:

  • Purchase order number
  • Vendor number
  • Receipt Date
  • Item number
  • Quantity

2. Serial/Lot Numbers Sheet

Users need to maintain the second sheet with the following information for items that need to be tracked by serial number or lot:

  • PO number
  • Item Number
  • Serial numbers (if it is serialized Item) Or Lot numbers (if if it lot control item)
  • Quantity

It makes sure that each lot or serial number is accurately matched with the item and quantity from the receipt.

After reading both sheets and verifying the information, the import tool generates PO Receipt entry into sage 300.

Key Features

  1. Supports Both Serial and Lot-Controlled Item.
    • You can import items with serial numbers, lot numbers, or regular items all in the same batch.
  2. Automatic Mapping
    • The tool intelligently links data between the receipt sheet and the serial/lot sheet.
  3. Error Validation
    • If something doesn’t match like serial count mismatch, missing lot details, or invalid PO numbers the utility alerts the user before importing and generates the log file.
  4. Fast and Accurate GRN Creation
    • What previously took hours can now be completed in minutes with consistent accuracy.

Who Can Use This Tool?

  1. Purchasing teams managing high receipt volumes will find this PO Receipt import tool ideal.
  2. Warehouse that maintain lot-tracked or serialized items
  3. Companies trying to automate the PO receipt generation process and cut down the manual process.
