This is a bit wider in usage. The hand does not need to be in tenpai.
I have heard many commentators say カンチャンを手に入れた when a player draws the missing tile.

  Comments:
The wiki ref above (which is generally more complete regarding mahjong than daij) does include that ("聴牌時において").
Regarding terminology, I'm fine either way.
