4.  Fill out the receiving form
   1. We try to remember common patterns, but please check to make sure the data like harvest date, location, and original shipper is all entered accurately for your receiving log.

Here's a short video - in this example, the organization has our "Items" feature enabled, if you do not have this feature, reach out and we'll get you setup.

Copy an existing lot and modify it

Once you've received a lot, you can copy it and change a few fields to make receiving more inventory faster. Note: you will need to update the traceability lot code if you need it to be unique.

1. Tap on a received lot
2. Under "Actions" tap "Copy"
3. Modify the fields that are important - including traceability lot code if it needs to be unique
4. Save

Scan to receive

If your supplier/vendor is also using BlueTrace, you can scan their tag or label to receive the entire lot. Once you scan a tag, you create a link to that vendor in the database. You can manage these linked vendors in Settings > Receive > Linked Vendors. 

1. Tap Scan at the bottom of the screen OR tap on the Incoming lot from the vendor
2. Scan the QR code on the tag or label
3. Fill in any missing information 
4. Check the details 
5. Save
