Buying

Purchase orders

Order from a vendor, receive what arrived, and let stock and the amount you owe update.

  1. Open Purchase Orders and create one. Pick the vendor and the lines.
  2. Print or email it.
  3. When goods arrive, Receive. Enter what actually came. The rest of the order stays open.
  4. Stock increases by the received quantity. The vendor balance increases by what you now owe.
  5. Print barcode labels for the received lines.
  6. If Weighted Average is on, the product cost updates from this receive. If costing is Fixed / Manual, the cost stays until you edit the product. See Currency and product cost.
