The Item Receipt object
An item receipt records the physical receipt of inventory items from a vendor. It can be linked to a purchase order to automatically update inventory quantities and close out the purchase order. When linked, line items are automatically pulled from the purchase order, eliminating the need to recreate them manually. This linking can only be done during item receipt creation, not during modification.
