Create and receive a supplier order

On a computer, create a supplier order, record the actual receipt and verify the stock update.

1. On a computer, check the ingredient in Stock & ingredients: its unit, current quantity and cost.
2. Open supplier management from Purchase orders. Add the supplier name and available contact details, then save.
3. Create an order, select the supplier and ingredient, then enter ordered quantity and unit cost. Check units and total.
4. Keep the order as Draft or mark it Sent and save. This is an internal tracking status; it does not contact the supplier.
5. When the goods arrive, select Receive and enter the quantity actually received, even if it differs from the ordered amount.
6. Return to Stock & ingredients and check the updated quantity and cost. In this example 8 kg received adds to 20 kg, producing 28 kg.
