Purchase Orders

Creating a Purchase Order

A Purchase Order (PO) is a formal document sent to a supplier to request goods. Here's how to create one:

1. 1Go to Purchases > Purchase Orders from the sidebar
2. 2Click 'Create Purchase Order'
3. 3Select the supplier from the dropdown
4. 4Add items — search for products and enter quantities
5. 5Set the expected delivery date
6. 6Review the total amount with GST calculations
7. 7Add optional notes for the supplier
8. 8Click 'Save' to create the PO

Purchase Order Workflow

Purchase orders go through several statuses: Draft → Sent → Partially Received → Fully Received. When you receive goods against a PO, you create a Goods Receipt Note (GRN) that updates the PO status automatically.
