Manage suppliers and receive stock

Use Inventory → Suppliers & Vendors to maintain supplier records. Use Inventory → Stock Purchases to record goods ordered for your business.

Add a supplier

1. Open Inventory → Suppliers & Vendors and choose the add action.
2. Enter the supplier details requested by the form and save.
3. Check that the supplier appears in the list.

Create and receive a stock purchase

1. Open Inventory → Stock Purchases and choose the add action.
2. Select a supplier, add the products and quantities, and review the purchase details.
3. Save the purchase. New purchases start as Ordered; creating one does not mean goods have been received.
4. When the delivery arrives, open the purchase and use its status action to record Received.
5. Review the saved status and purchase updates.

Use the purchase record if goods will not arrive: its available status actions let you cancel or reject an order. A received purchase can be marked returned to the supplier. These transitions keep the stock history connected to the supplier record. Do not use a manual stock adjustment for a supplier receipt or return.
