If your plan supports it, you can have GRN custom fields enabled so that additional line-level fields are made available to you at the point of GRN. 

GRN Reporting

GRN data is actually very simple. It is a Quantity Received valued against a Quantity Ordered. Using Zahara’s reporting API you can attach to your order data in Excel using PowerQuery. We have built spreadsheets for customers with simple GRN quantities and then using the status of orders to produce accruals reports like GRNI. If you are interested in this, please talk to the Customer Success Team.
