Providing the Inventory module has been activated you can enter and post supplier invoices containing stock items which will update your product list accordingly.

You can process the supplier invoice in two areas. The first area is via the Inventory tab > purchases > supplier invoices. If you have raised a purchase order you can link the purchase order to the supplier invoice and receipt the goods at the same time.

If you have not created a purchase order for an item you can also process an Inventory supplier invoice via Suppliers > supplier invoices, this way will still update the stock and bypass the purchase order stage should you so wish.

To process a supplier invoice that relates to a purchase order, go to Inventory > purchases > supplier invoice > New invoice :-

  • Select your supplier

  • Enter the invoice date, invoice number, also check the vat code is correct for the invoice you are processing

  • If you have raised a purchase order click on the link Transfer and link from purchase order/receipt

  • all outstanding PO's relating to the selected supplier will appear, if you place a tick in the right hand box the total of the order will appear, if you are receiving and being invoiced for a part order enter the number of units

  • click on Transfer to supplier invoice
