Purchase orders

What you have ordered from a supplier and at what price, before anything arrives.

The Purchase orders screen in MCPOS.

Steps

  1. Open it

    Purchasing → Purchase Orders → New.

  2. Pick the vendor and warehouse

    The warehouse is where the goods will be received.

  3. Add the lines

    Products, quantities and the cost you agreed. Tax on a purchase is worked out from your tax rules, not typed in by hand.

  4. Send it

    Email it or share a link. MCPOS records that it was sent and when.

  5. Track it

    The order shows what has arrived and what is still outstanding as goods receipts come in.

Good to know

  • A purchase order alone does not change stock or your accounts. Receiving the goods does.
