Purchase Management From Order to Payment
Raise and approve purchase orders, receive goods straight into stock, and keep track of every supplier bill and payment — in one connected workflow.
The Problem With Phone-and-Paper Purchasing
Orders placed over the phone, deliveries that arrive half-complete, and supplier bills filed away separately from stock — it becomes impossible to say what is still on order, what actually arrived, and how much you still owe each supplier.

Purchase Orders With an Approval Step
Every purchase order moves through clear stages — draft, submitted, approved, partially received, received — so nothing gets ordered without sign-off and nothing on order gets forgotten.
- Draft, submit, and approve orders
- Cancel an order before it’s fully received
- See exactly what is still outstanding per line
Goods Receipt Straight Into Stock
Receive a full or partial delivery against an approved order. Stock goes up in the right warehouse immediately, and the supplier bill is created in the same step.
- Partial receipts, with over-receipt blocked
- Batch number and expiry date on receipt
- Direct bills for purchases without an order

Supplier Payments & Returns
Record full or partial payments against each supplier bill, return faulty goods with a purchase return, and always know your total payables.
- Unpaid → partially paid → paid
- Purchase returns reduce stock and the amount owed
- Payables list sorted by amount outstanding

An approval step means purchase orders only go out once someone with authority signs off.
Stock You Can Rely On
Receipts and returns update inventory automatically — no separate stock entry to forget.
Clear Supplier Balances
Know what you owe every supplier, and which bills are paid, at any moment.
How Purchase Management Works

Choose the supplier and products — the order starts as a draft.
Submit & Approve
Send the order for approval so purchasing stays under control.
Receive Goods
Receive all or part of the order; stock and the supplier bill are created together.
Pay the Supplier
Record full or partial payments — the bill’s balance and your payables update.
