Purchases & suppliers
Receive a supplier delivery
Record what actually arrived and its cost before making it available for sale.
WHERE TO FIND IT
Purchasing → Purchases
Step by step
Create a purchase for the correct supplier and receiving store; enter the invoice reference.
Add the received products, quantities and unit costs; verify totals against the delivery.
Enter batch and expiry details where required. Review any selling-price changes.
Confirm receipt using the purchase workflow and check the new stock and supplier balance.
Costs, margins and markup on receipt
- Compare unit cost with selling price and MRP while preparing the purchase. Margin is measured against selling price; markup is added to cost. Check the displayed result instead of treating the percentages as interchangeable.
- When using markup on receive, choose the intended markup and review the proposed selling prices before confirming receipt. For batch-wise pricing, enter each lot’s cost, selling price and MRP.
- Received costs contribute to weighted average cost and inventory valuation. Check quantities and units carefully; an incorrect pack quantity distorts both available stock and average cost.
Receive a delivery or cancel a draft
- Keep the purchase as a draft while ordering. On delivery, compare ordered and arrived quantities, inspect the goods, then enter actual receipt quantities and the supplier invoice reference.
- Confirm receipt only after checking store, batch, expiry and costs. Stock and supplier balances follow the received document; record payments separately if not already included.
- Cancel an unneeded purchase through its available Cancel action and check its status. For goods already received, use a purchase return instead of removing the original receipt history.
Review prices and put received stock away
- Compare the purchase cost against current retail price and MRP while ordering. Review the displayed markup/margin before applying cost-to-selling updates.
- When receiving, enter the actual delivered quantity, the exact variant and any batch/expiry details. Use Put away at to record the destination shelf location.
- Print labels from the received purchase quantities if needed. A draft or ordered purchase is not available stock until it is received.
