    Automatic or staged goods receipt

    Each branch chooses how it receives goods from suppliers: automatically in one go, or in stages as deliveries arrive. Received goods are recorded straight into per-warehouse stock.

    • Configured per branch
    • Automatic or staged receipt
    • Stock recorded per warehouse
  3. 03 / 05

    Cost price after discount, with references

    Cost price is calculated from the purchase price after discount, so it reflects what you actually paid. Every order can carry a reference number and multiple additional notes.

    • Cost calculated after discount
    • Transaction reference number
    • Multiple notes per order

    Supplier payables & payments

    Purchases from suppliers are recorded as payables, and every payment goes into the history. The outstanding balance for each supplier is always clear.

    • Supplier payables
    • Payment history
    • Supplier master data
  5. 05 / 05

    Returns, cancellations & closing, all monitored

    Goods returned to suppliers are recorded together with their refunds. Mistyped transactions are formally cancelled — kept on record, not deleted — and orders can be closed manually once they are done. It is all visible on the purchasing monitoring dashboard.

    • Purchase returns & refunds
    • Formal cancellation, not deletion
