Purchase order
Purchase orders are commercial documents which register the ordering of goods at vendors’. The source document for purchase order is a sales order. They calculate subtotal, total and tax values, they generate payments but they are not subject to payments.
A purchase order does not affect the quantity of goods in stock. The quantity resulting from a confirmed purchase order is presented on the list of resources, in column Orders.
Purchase orders are available in the menu Purchase. To be able to correctly generate a purchase order, it is necessary to define price types and price lists for received items. The lists of price types and prices lists for received items are available in the same menu. They are defined the same way as price types and price lists for releases items (see chapter Price types for released items).
