Creating a Purchase Invoice

Record merchandise purchases from suppliers — the purchased quantity is added to the selected warehouse's stock automatically on save.

Go to Operations → Purchase Invoices and click Create:

Create purchase invoice

Fields

  • Warehouse: (required) the warehouse the purchased quantity is added to.
  • Supplier: (required).
  • Purchase Date: (required) defaults to today.
  • Notes: optional free text.

Product Table

For each row:

  • Product, Variant, Unit: same logic as the sale invoice.
  • Quantity: the unit quantity purchased.
  • Purchase Price: auto-filled with the last recorded purchase price for this product/unit, editable. A calculator icon beside the field opens a unit cost breakdown (useful for allocating extra costs into the unit price).
  • Tax and Discount: togglable between percentage % and fixed amount, same as the sale invoice.
  • Total: calculated automatically per row.

Below the table: subtotal, tax, discount, shipping amount (editable, added to the total), grand total, and the supplier's outstanding balance.

Notes

  • Saving the invoice increases available stock in the selected warehouse immediately.
  • The purchase price recorded here is the source profit reports and "selling below cost" warnings rely on.
  • To settle the outstanding amount owed to the supplier, see Supplier Payments.
  • To return merchandise to a supplier, see Purchase Returns.
