Every Purchase Order can have a pack sheet. Receiving gear here turns it into a normal asset in your Inventory. This means when the show packs, your subrented gear packs exactly like gear you own.
Before You Start
The Purchase Order needs a gear list with a warehouse and dates on it.
The PO Pack Sheet lists the lines set to Enforce Rcv. (Enforce Receive). That's on by default when gear ships to your warehouse or you pick it up, and always on for gear you added straight to the Purchase Order (not related to a primary gear order).
Lines with Enforce Rcv. turned off won't appear. Nobody's checking them in, so there's nothing to receive.
Open the pack sheet from the Purchase Order, or go straight to it with its own link. You can also get there from View Purchase Order in Warehouse Activities, or from the PO link on your show's pack sheet.
Step 1: Move the Sheet to Receiving
A new pack sheet opens in Initial, and nothing is actionable yet. That's deliberate, and keeps gear from being checked in before it's actually on the dock.
Use the status menu in the top right to move it to Receiving. A Receive button appears on every line.
LASSO asks you to confirm, because you can't move the sheet back to Initial. The move also locks the Purchase Order's Ship To. You can still change a line's Enforce Rcv. switch until that line receives gear.
Step 2: Receive a Line
Click Receive and choose how the gear comes in:
Serialized Items: individual items with unique codes. You'll get the same screen you already use, including generated serial codes and label printing.
Unserialized Items: bulk items without individual codes. Right for a one-off subrental you don't need to track piece by piece.
One rule to know: a line is all serialized or all unserialized. You can't split a single line between the two, though you can absolutely mix methods across different lines.
LASSO confirms before it commits, because receiving adds real assets to your Inventory and can't be undone.
Once a line has received gear, its Type and Stock lock.
Receiving a Lot at Once
If the truck has landed and you just need everything in quickly, select the lines and use Bulk Actions > Receive Selected. Everything comes in as unserialized assets, at the full remaining quantity, with no confirmation step. Lines you've started receiving as serialized can't be bulk received, so finish those one at a time.
Step 3: Check What Landed
Received gear is now an asset. Open the product and you'll find it in your Inventory totals — unserialized gear joins the pool for that warehouse, serialized gear appears as its own asset.
Each asset's history points back to the Purchase Order it arrived on, so you can always trace where a piece came from.
Step 4: Watch the Counts
As you receive, Qty Received climbs on the pack sheet. Back on the Purchase Order, the Rcv. column shows the same thing next to what you ordered.
It's the quickest way to spot a vendor who sent nine of the ten you asked for. The sheet also links each line to its Gear Order and shows its Internal Notes.
When everything's in, move the sheet to Checked In. That freezes receiving for subrentals and switches the sheet over to returns. A Purchase Order with only purchases goes from Receiving straight to Finalized, since nothing goes back.
Step 5: Pack the Show
The gear you just received is an ordinary asset, so you pack it on your Gear Order's pack sheet exactly like anything you own. No separate subrental step. Each line shows which Purchase Order it came from. If the vendor sent fewer than the line needs, the pack sheet tells you how many have been received so far.
Sending Subrentals Back
When the show wraps, come back to the PO Pack Sheet and pack the lines you're returning: use Pack on a line, or select lines and choose Bulk Actions > Return Selected. Serialized and unserialized both work.
Lines tied to a show can go back once that show's Gear Order has shipped. Until then, LASSO tells you which order is holding things up. Other lines can go back any time after Checked In. As you go, you can move the sheet to Filling and then Packed.
Assets move to Retired as you pack them, which takes them out of service. Move the sheet to Shipped or Finalized to close it out, and the assets you packed move to Disposed. Pack everything you're sending back before you do: anything you don't pack stays in your inventory, and you can't undo Shipped. Retired and Disposed are LASSO's standard asset statuses. Here, they just mean the gear is on its way back to your vendor, and then returned. Your own gear isn't affected.
Anything you purchased stays put. You bought it, so there's nothing to send back.
Who Can Do What
Receiving and returning gear on the PO Pack Sheet take the Warehouse Activities permission.
Changing the sheet's status takes Inventory Admin or Can Access Warehouse Activities together with Can Change Pack Sheet Status. People with either of these can move the sheet to any status. "Can Mark as Shipped" and "Can Mark as Finalized" don't apply to Purchase Order pack sheets.
If someone can't change the status, the Status menu shows but they can't select it. Someone with permission has to move the sheet to Receiving before they can receive gear.
People who can't see financial information won't see costs or totals on the Purchase Order.
