Bus/Financial - Accounting
Spanish term or phrase: documetos de entrada
Definitely not referring to immigration documents. :)

The document is from Chile (again), this section is about the features of a customized accounting software program, and the context is as follows -

"Definicion y uso de 99 documents de entrada y 99 documentos de salida"

It's about warehouses stocking spare auto parts. My initial guess is that they meant "stock receipt forms" - does that make sense in any way?

Thank you so much!

documentos de entrada
warehouse receipts


Explanation:
Barron's Accounting Handbook has the following definition:

WAREHOUSE RECEIPT: A document listing goods or commodities (e.g., gold) stored in a warehouse that shows retention of title to the goods. Warehouse receipts my be negotiable or non-negotiable. Negotiable receipts allow transfer without endorsement and may act as a security for a loan.Non-negotiable receipts must be endorsed upon transfer. Warehouse receipts, regulated by the Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act, allow the sale of goods without having to physically deliver them.

Comment:
My impression is that this involves the documents relating to the auto parts that are received in the warehouse and become part of the stock on hand.

Hope this helps.

entry documents


Explanation:
documents de entrada y documentos de salida - entry documents and exit documents.
(Often even in software programs the language used is that of the physical reality that the software is modeling.)
(I have never worked in or with a warehouse, so I cannot be sure that I am correct in this case.)
