Root cause:
Shipment for which user is trying to start the receipt might still be in shipment created status.

On inbound shipment creation, shipment should be confirmed.
Once shipment moves to shipment shipped, then the receipt can be started.
This behavior is driven by the InboundShipment and InboundReceipt pipelines.

Resolution:

If the shipment is observed to be in Shipment created status, confirm the shipment so that it moves the shipment status to shipment shipped from shipment created.
This will allow the shipment to be initiated for receipt using the startReceipt action.
