What is Receiving Deliveries?
Receiving Deliveries is the process of confirming that goods ordered have arrived at your location. When suppliers who are using Quotable ship items, they create Delivery Records with tracking information. You review delivery details, confirm receipt when goods arrive, and upload proof of delivery to complete the transaction.
Key Benefits:
Track shipments in real-time with courier tracking numbers
Confirm receipt to update order status automatically
Upload proof of delivery photos for records
Verify quantities received match what was ordered
Complete the order cycle from purchase to receipt
NOTE: We are working on an enhancement where you'll be able to receive deliveries and create delivery records from external suppliers (non-quotable users). This is currently in development.

Proof of Delivery
Why Upload POD?
Proof of delivery documentation is useful for:
Refund or return claims if issues arise
Insurance claims for damaged goods
Dispute resolution with suppliers
Quality control records
Compliance documentation
Internal audit trails
Note: Uploading proof of delivery is optional but recommended for high-value shipments or items requiring verification.
Proof of Delivery (POD) Storage
All uploaded proof of delivery photos are stored securely and linked to the Delivery Record. Download POD files anytime from the delivery detail page.
Receiving via Magic Link (No Login Required)
For Non-Quotable Users
If you don't have a Quotable account or the delivery is going to someone else (employee, contractor, branch office), they can confirm receipt via magic link.
How It Works
Supplier updates delivery to Delivered status. Recipient receives email with secure magic link to confirm receipt. Recipient clicks link (no login needed), enters their information, optionally uploads proof of delivery, and clicks confirm. Delivery status updates automatically.
Tracking Multiple Deliveries
Partial Deliveries
If your Purchase Order is split into multiple shipments, you'll receive multiple Delivery Records. Confirm each delivery separately as items arrive. PO status updates to Partially Received until all deliveries are confirmed.
View All Deliveries
From your Deliveries dashboard, track all incoming shipments. Filter by status (In Transit, Delivered, Received) to prioritize confirmation actions.
Verifying Delivered Items
Check Against PO
Before confirming receipt, verify:
Quantities: All ordered items delivered
Products: Correct items match PO specifications
Condition: Goods arrived undamaged
Completeness: All components or accessories included
Report Issues
If there are problems (missing items, damages, wrong products), note them in the optional comments field when confirming. Follow up with supplier immediately via email or phone.
Best Practices
Confirm Promptly
Confirm deliveries within 24 hours of receipt. Timely confirmation allows suppliers to close orders and process final invoicing.
Verify Before Confirming
Inspect goods before clicking Confirm Shipment Received. Once confirmed, it signals acceptance of the delivery.
Document Issues
If goods are damaged or incomplete, upload photos as proof of delivery showing the issues. Add detailed comments explaining problems.
Update Recipient Info
If someone else received the delivery, edit the First Name, Last Name, Phone, and Email fields to reflect the actual recipient.
Result
Receiving deliveries is simple with real-time tracking, easy confirmation workflows, and optional proof of delivery uploads. Confirm receipt to close the order cycle and maintain accurate records of all goods received.
