Purchases

Optionally create Purchases (Purchase orders) to order raw materials, packaging materials, and finished products from suppliers.

When you receive an inventory delivery that corresponds to a Purchase order, use Create Inventory > Create from PO.

If you don't use Purchase orders, use Create inventory > Supplier delivery to record incoming deliveries.

PURCHASES FIELDS:

Deliver to: This is the company (and address) the order will be delivered to. Tap to enter a new customer company.

Bill to: This is the company that will pay for the goods. This can be different than the Deliver to company, for example, if you send goods to five Walmart warehouses, but send your invoices to head office, enter Walmart Head Office as a company, and then the five warehouses as separate companies (select Walmart Head Office as the "Parent company" on each of the warehouse companies).

Transport: The company that will deliver the goods. Select "Transport" to ON on your company if you do your own deliveries.

Dispatch date: Date goods sent by supplier.

Delivery date: Date goods are delivered to you.

Reference: for your own records, can be used for traceability and recalls, or to associate this record with your finance app.

Delivery instruction: Notes to supplier on delivery time or method.

Finished:   If this is ON, the Purchase order is finished and can't be used to receive future deliveries, to reactivate the order,  switch to OFF position.

Paperclip icon:  Use to attach documents and images to Purchase orders.
