Receive Chemicals
The Receive Chemicals workflow starts from a chemical list and then opens a receiving form for the selected chemical. Use it to create a new chemical batch, capture lot and manufacturer information, attach files, and release the batch into inventory.
Navigation
Go to Inventory > Chemicals > Receive Chemicals, then select a chemical and choose Receive Inventory.
Step 1: Choose the chemical
The first screen shows the chemical list with status and search filters. Select the chemical you want to receive, then click the Receive Inventory action button to open the receiving form.
Step 2: Complete the receiving form
Batch Details
The form shows the chemical name and a generated batch ID, then asks for source batch, manufacturer, expiration date, location, tags, and comments.
Files
You can drag files onto the page or use the upload button to attach documents to the batch before or during receiving.
How to receive a chemical batch
- Select a chemical
Open the Receive Chemicals list, choose a row, and click Receive Inventory.
- Verify the generated batch
Confirm the displayed chemical name and generated batch ID on the receiving form.
- Enter the source batch
Provide the supplier or lot number. This field is required.
- Confirm the manufacturer
Review or update the manufacturer field. This field is required.
- Set location and details
Add the expiration date, storage location, tags, and any initial comments.
- Upload supporting files
Add any receiving documents, certificates, or related files in the Files panel.
- Receive the batch
Click Receive Batch. The system releases the batch, creates the initial container record, prints the batch sticker, and returns you to the receive list.
When the receiving form opens, the system creates a draft batch record in the background so files can already be attached before the batch is fully received.
You cannot complete receiving until the source batch and manufacturer fields are filled in.
