Purchases → Create New Purchase Invoice

Step by step

  1. Choose the supplier and the purchase date.

  2. Select the item, check the model/code, and enter a whole quantity above zero.

  3. Enter Discount % for the catalog calculation or type the agreed Net Unit Price.

  4. Choose Add Item for each model. Review the calculated weight, quantity and amount totals.

  5. Choose Save Invoice and wait for the saved invoice number.

  6. If you paid the supplier, record the payment separately in Money → Cash or Bank → Pay.

What to check

  • Stock increases and the supplier ledger shows the purchase. The payment has its own money entry.

Things to know

  • Purchase weight is calculated from the item weight and quantity; it is not a separate editable amount in the builder.
  • Avoid recording existing opening stock again as a new purchase.
