Purchase order management

Purchase orders connected to receiving, stock, and cost

When purchase documents and receiving records are separate, ordered quantities, received quantities, and payments must be reconciled again. Keep them connected from one purchase order.

Purchase orders by supplier

Record the supplier, products, quantities, and amounts in one order.

Actual receipts update stock

Confirm the quantity actually received to update product inventory.

Moving-average cost updates

Reflect received quantities and purchase prices in current product cost.

PDFs and payment balances

Create a purchase-order PDF and review payments and remaining balances.

One workflow from order to receiving

Once suppliers and products are registered, the same information continues into the order, receipt, inventory, and payment records.

  1. 1. Register suppliers and products

    Add suppliers, orderable products, and basic transaction details.

  2. 2. Create the order

    Enter quantities and purchase amounts by item to prepare the purchase order.

  3. 3. Confirm receiving

    Verify actual quantities and prices to update stock and cost.

  4. 4. Review payments and history

    Check payments, outstanding balances, and supplier order history.

What happens when orders and spreadsheets stay separate

Ordered and received quantities diverge

Compare the order and its actual receipt in the same transaction.

Receipts are re-entered into inventory

Confirmed receipt quantities flow directly into stock and cost.

Costs and payments become scattered

Review transaction amounts, payments, and outstanding balances together.
