# What is an inbound shipment? An inbound shipment is a **stock delivery you send to the Linkolis warehouse**. Every time you want to replenish your inventory, you create an inbound shipment — Linkolis receives your products, performs a quality check and updates your stock in real time. {% hint style="info" %} Products are automatically created in your catalogue when you create an inbound shipment. See Product management for details. {% endhint %} \--- ### The inbound list The Inbounds page shows all your shipments with the following columns:
| Column | Description | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | **Inbound reference** | Unique identifier of the shipment (e.g. I24719285867) | | **Status** | Current status of the inbound | | **Created on** | Date the inbound was created | | **Packing received** | Number of boxes received vs expected (e.g. 1/1) | | **Items stored** | Number of units stored vs expected (e.g. 80/80) | | **Action** | Menu to access actions on the inbound | *** ### Inbound statuses | Status | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | `In progress` | Inbound created — not yet shipped to the warehouse | | `Shipped` | Stock has been shipped — awaiting arrival at the warehouse | | `Receiving` | Warehouse is currently receiving and processing the shipment | | `Completed` | All items received, inspected and added to your inventory | *** ### Actions on an inbound Click the **"..."** button on any inbound row to access the following actions:
