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

  1. Create a purchase for the correct supplier and receiving store; enter the invoice reference.

  2. Add the received products, quantities and unit costs; verify totals against the delivery.

  3. Enter batch and expiry details where required. Review any selling-price changes.

  4. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
