Purchase orders

Owner

Order stock, receive it into a location, and keep partial receipts on the same order.

Who uses this​

The owner, when goods are coming in. Do this before you sell stock you do not have.

What you need first​

  • A supplier
  • A product
  • A stockable location

Steps​

1. Review purchase orders​

Open Purchase orders. Create a PO against a supplier, add lines, mark it ordered, then receive into the shop or warehouse. If the delivery is partial, receive what arrived on this PO. Do not open a second PO to finish the same order.

What done looks like​

Common mistakes​

  • Do not receive more than ordered unless you mean to over-receive.
