Purchasing covers how you buy stock and services from suppliers — purchase orders that commit expected spend, advance ship notifications when suppliers ship, and receipts that post inventory into warehouses.

​
What Purchasing covers

Purchasing setup lives under Purchasing setup (gear icon) in the app at /setup/purchasing. It covers Landed cost components.

​
Typical workflow

1

Onboard suppliers

Create supplier master data on Suppliers before you issue POs.
2

Issue a purchase order

Commit quantities and expected cost. See Purchase orders & receipts.
3

Receive goods

Post a receipt at the receiving warehouse to update Stock on hand.
4

Land the cost

Allocate freight, duty, and handling to the receipt so inventory carries its true cost. See Landed cost.
5

Match to AP

Enter the supplier bill on Bills & adjustments and pay on Outgoing payments.

​
Example: Trail Ridge Outfitters

  1. PO-4421 to Apex Supply for daypacks → receipt at Denver DC
  2. Stock on hand increases at the warehouse
  3. BILL-8842 matched to PO/receipt → posted under Accounts Payable
  4. APPMT-3318 pays Apex in full
