Assembly Receipts
Assembly Receipts
An assembly receipt is what makes production official: it records the finished units that came off the line, removes the consumed components from Inventory, and adds the finished goods to your warehouse in a single posted transaction. One assembly order can have many receipts — so whether you build in daily batches or complete the whole run at once, the receipt fits your workflow.
Assembly receipts are created from an Assembly Order, not directly from this list.

How to create an Assembly Receipt
- Open a Released Assembly Order (see Assembly Orders).
- Click Create Receipt.
- Enter the Quantity Built — the number of finished units produced in this run.
- Set the Posting Date.
- CifraHQ loads the component lines automatically, scaled to the quantity being built.
- Verify the component quantities consumed are correct.
- Post the receipt.
What posting does
- Component Inventory is reduced by the quantities consumed per the Bill of Materials.
- Finished goods Inventory is increased by the quantity built.
- A journal entry is created reflecting the transfer of cost from components to finished goods.
Field reference
- Assembly Order — the parent order this receipt belongs to; set automatically and cannot be changed.
- Quantity Built — the finished units produced in this specific run. If you built 200 units across two days, you would post two receipts of 100 each.
- Posting Date — the date the Inventory changes and Accounting entry are recorded. Use the actual production completion date for accurate period reporting.
- Component lines — the raw materials consumed; quantities are automatically scaled from the BOM based on the Quantity Built. Adjust them here if actual consumption differed from the standard recipe.
Document lifecycle

|---|---|
| Draft | Editable; no Inventory impact yet |
| Posted | Components consumed; finished goods added to stock |
| Archived | Closed and read-only |
Tips
- Adjust for real-world yield. If your BOM calls for 10 kg of resin per unit but this batch used 10.5 kg due to rework, update the component quantity on the receipt before posting. Accurate consumption data keeps your Inventory costs honest.
- When the full production run is complete, go back to the parent Assembly Order and close it. This prevents accidental additional receipts and signals to the team that the work order is finished.
