What a GRN is
When a delivery reaches site, somebody signs for it. A goods received note — a GRN — is that signature written down: what came, how much of it, against which order.
It matters because what you receive is what gets paid for. Sign for a hundred tiles that were never counted and the invoice passes without anyone noticing the box was short.
Open the order and each line shows the quantity ordered against the quantity received. That gap is the open commitment — the part of the order still owed.
Partial deliveries are normal on a fit-out. A lorry arrives with sixty of a hundred metres of tile, and that is fine, as long as the order stays open for the remaining forty.
Only when the last box lands does the order close out fully received. Until then it is a live commitment, and the GRNs against it are the evidence Mostafa values the invoice against.
The habit that matters
One habit worth building: count it before you sign, and record the count on the order the same hour. A shortage found the next week is a shortage nobody can prove.
