[Work Orders](https://support.paragon-erp.com/manufacturing?hsLang=en#work-orders) May 22, 2025 # Receiving work orders from different locations ### Introduction Here, we'll walk you through receiving work orders and show you how the material and finished goods inventories move through different warehouses set up by your company. In Paragon, your [locations](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-new-locations?hsLang=en) are associated to your warehouses. This example deals with two locations: material warehouse and finished goods warehouse. Once you create a receipt for a work order, the materials used to complete the work order will be deducted from the materials warehouse, and the finished goods that are created by the work order will be added to the finished goods warehouse. #### Receive the work order Once you have issued or completed your [work order](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-a-work-order?hsLang=en), navigate to the **receive** module (right hand side bar), and click on the **create new receipt** icon at the top left of the screen. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Feb-02-2024-09-46-33-8915-PM-1-1-3-1.png) From here, you'll be given multiple options from which to create a receipt. Click on the **work orders** tab. Here, you'll be given the option to choose one or multiple work orders. Select the **work order(s)** you wish to receive, and click the **accept** button at the bottom right of the screen to proceed. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/DocsDisplay-Feb-02-2024-09-46-38-4666-PM-1-1-3-1.png) Clicking the **accept** button will bring you to the receipt screen. Here, you'll see that the quantities from the work order have been transferred over automatically. It is important to make sure that the *Ship From* matches the location of the material warehouse, and the *Ship To* matches the location of the finished goods warehouse.   Once everything is correct, click the **accept** button at the bottom right of the screen and **issue** the receipt. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Issued%20receipt-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=369&name=Issued%20receipt-jpg.jpeg) Click the **accept** button once more and **complete** the receipt. ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Complete%20receipt-jpg-1.jpeg?width=158&height=307&name=Complete%20receipt-jpg-1.jpeg) #### Check Inventory Once the status of the receipt is complete, navigate to the **inventory** module to check the inventory and make sure that it has moved across the locations properly. Once you've been redirected to the inventory summary page, search for your product using the search bar at the very top left hand side of the screen. Once your product shows up, click the **history** tab, and the system will show you that the finished goods have been added to the finished goods warehouse, and the receipt number for reference.   ![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Receipt%20inventory-jpg.jpeg?width=688&height=183&name=Receipt%20inventory-jpg.jpeg)   #### What's next?
