Purchasing

In a typical setup, the user may put up a Typical Purchase Requisition (note the difference between a Purchase Requisition & a Sales Quotation. A Purchase Requisition allows you to indicate which supplier you are sending the order to). Once the requisition is confirmed, a Purchase Order can be created. Upon confirmation of all the Purchase Orders, the goods will then be delivered by the stated suppliers. You may record a Goods Received Note (GRN – Optional) for your reference and then send the supplier’s invoice to the Accounts Department. Alternatively, you can just record the Invoice straight upon receiving it from supplier.

Another scenario is that no Purchase Order is created, only a verbal order is placed to the suppliers. You received goods from suppliers and the invoice is sent to you later. The final scenario is where the Purchase is done simply by placing an order and you just receive the goods and invoice from suppliers, in which case the Credit/Cash Invoice will be created directly. Some Purchase transactions can be done by placing a deposit first.
