How to properly draw up an act of acceptance of materials

End time of acceptance

This information will confirm the legality of the paperwork on the next day after the receipt of the goods. If a large amount of cargo is received, the end of acceptance actually occurs the next day after receipt. The taxpayer accepts VAT for deduction only in respect of materials taken into account. The indication of the exact time of the beginning and end of acceptance will be evidence of the time of actual acceptance in case of a discrepancy between the dates of receipt at the warehouse and the date of registration of documents.

Details of accompanying documents

According to the supplier's primary documents, the recipient verifies the quantity and quality of the delivered cargo.

Details of the contract with the supplier

The presence of a contract is mandatory, since the delivery can be identified by this document. A company may have several agreements with one supplier, the terms of which differ, for example, the possibility of deferred payment or the provision of discounts. If the details of the contract are not indicated in the act, in the event of an audit, the controllers will have suspicions that such a document was not drawn up. The expenses of the organization will thus be deemed unreasonable.

Supplier representative call mark

Confirms that the buyer has notified the supplier of the place and time of shipment of goods. A representative of the supplier or an independent party must be present when drawing up the deed. The exceptions are cases when the supplier has agreed to unilateral acceptance of the goods. The supplier's or carrier's representative may refuse to arrive at the place of shipment or sign the deed. In this case, the mark on the call of the representative of the second party will be evidence of the fulfillment by the buyer of his obligations.

Sealing mark

Information about the sealing of the cargo should be contained in the waybill, but additional marks in the act will be useful. If the consignee has accepted the goods with intact seals, it means that the responsibility for the shortage or damage to the goods lies with the supplier or carrier.

Storage conditions of materials

The buyer is interested in the safety of materials and the creation of conditions for their storage. In case of violation of storage conditions, losses cannot be attributed to the norms of natural loss.

Fixing the fact of damage to packaging

If the container is damaged, the recipient can make a claim against the supplier or carrier. If, as a result of damage to the packaging, the recipient is forced to purchase a new one for the further sale of the goods, the mark on packaging defects will become a justification for the costs.

Method for determining missing cargo

The shortage can be determined by weighing, recalculating places, measuring. The amount of materials received should be determined in units of measurement specified in the accompanying documents.

Shortage (surplus, re-grading, battle)

If the received materials do not correspond to the quality, assortment and quantity specified in the supplier's documents, acceptance is carried out by a commission created by the order of the head of the buying enterprise. A conclusion is drawn up, on the basis of which claims will be made against the supplier.


An act of acceptance of materials of the M7 form is drawn up when material values \u200b\u200bare received without accompanying documents, or they did not come in full or do not correspond to the quality specified by the supplier. For such cases, there is a form M7 - this is a legal claim to the sender of the material, the supplier. If you have drawn up an acceptance act, then the M4 form (receipt order) is not issued. The act of acceptance of the M7 form was established and approved by the State Statistics Committee of Russia No. 71a.

Materials acceptance procedure

Acceptance of goods begins with verification of the forms. Together with them, transport, accompanying, or settlement documents must be transferred. If not available, contact the supplier. If the supplier reported that there are no documents, or they were lost along the way, it is necessary to issue an act of acceptance of materials form M7.

If there are documents with the product, you should check its quantity. The quantity of material must correspond to the figures indicated in the accompanying acts and the quantity ordered from the supplier. You can check the quantity and quality of the goods at the same time. If there is a quantitative discrepancy or a marriage and a fight, then you should call the supplier.

If there are no documents for received materials, what should I do?

It is necessary to involve all employees of the company to search for forms in their warehouse, in the accounting department, at the place of storage of the materials themselves. The presence of one type of acts from the listed ones is mandatory for acceptance:

  • consignment note;
  • quality certificate;
  • waybills;
  • invoice and any individual product documents.

In the absence of the listed documents, you must call the supplier, the driver, if there was a transportation company, then there as well. In case of loss or complete absence of documents for the goods, it is necessary to draw up an act of acceptance of materials of the M7 form.
