Article summary

The Purchase orders page displays an overview of all Purchase orders, listed by internal order number. Newest purchase order on the top, and order status filtered by "Active". The Purchase orders may have been created manually either in Purchas orders, Deliveries, or InStore App. Purchase orders can also be created by the supplier or other 3rd parties.

You can view and edit existing purchase orders and create new purchase orders.


Purchase order is used e.g., when you create Purchase orders manually.

The Purchase process can be done manually by communicating with the supplier by mail/phone.

1.       Create the Purchase order manually. Then we submit the order and send it to the supplier.

2.       The supplier creates a manual purchase order in their system and confirms the purchase.

3.       Then you change status to Confirmed manually in the purchase order.

4.       The supplier sends the items and have not sent an order dispatch advice in advance.

5.       You receive the items using Receive goods in Purchase order, or by using Receive goods in InStore App.
