Purchase orders
Build a purchase order line by line, send it to a supplier, and receive stock as it arrives.
Last updated 2026-06-29
A purchase order (PO) records what you're buying from a supplier and tracks it through to delivery. Receiving against a PO is what raises your stock counts. Open Purchase Orders from the Inventory section of the sidebar.
Create a purchase order
Choose the supplier
Start a new PO and pick the supplier you're ordering from.
Add line items
Use the line-item builder to add each product with the quantity ordered and the unit cost. The PO totals as you build it.
Save the order
Save the PO. It now appears in your purchase order list with its status.
Receive stock
When the delivery arrives, open the PO and record what you actually received.
Open the PO detail
The detail view shows each line with how many were ordered and how many are still outstanding.
Receive quantities
Enter received quantities. You can receive partially — log what came in now and the rest later — and the PO tracks receive progress.
Stock updates automatically
Receiving adds to the product's stock and writes a stock-in entry to its movement history.
