Purchase orders

A purchase order is what you ask a vendor to supply. It doesn't change stock or the accounts. You then receive and bill it, at once or in parts.

Open Purchases›Purchase Orders, or use + › Purchase Order in the top bar.

Create a purchase order

  1. Click New and choose the vendor. Their payment term is filled in.
  2. Set the PO Date and the Expected Delivery Date, and the vendor's quotation number in Reference # if you have one.
  3. Choose the branch and warehouse the goods are for, and add the lines (see Entering line items).
  4. Click Save & Issue, or Save as Draft.
  5. Click Print or Send Email to send it to the vendor.

Receive and bill it

Select the order and click Convert:

  • Convert to Goods Receipt when the goods arrive before the bill (see Goods receipts), or
  • Convert to Bill when the goods and the bill arrive together (see Bills).

Only the quantities not yet received or billed are copied. Lower them to record a part delivery, and convert again for the rest.

Follow the order

The center shows how much of the order is Fulfilled, and the Received, Billed and Fulfillment tabs: per line the Ordered Qty, what was Received (via GR), what was Billed Directly, the Total Committed and what is Remaining. Once a line's committed quantity reaches the ordered quantity, it can't be received or billed again.
