In this guide:

What is a Purchase Order?​

A record of stock a store intends to buy from a supplier, including supplier, destination, line items, and pricing. See Overview.

How do I change the expected delivery date?​

Edit the Expected date field on the Details card, either while creating the PO or later in edit mode. It must be today or a future date.

Can I import products into a Purchase Order?​

How is inventory updated after receiving products?​

Each receive action moves the received quantity out of Incoming and into sellable Quantity and On-hand for that SKU and warehouse. See Receiving Inventory.

Can I edit a Purchase Order after creation?​

How are taxes calculated?​

Using whichever Tax Calculation mode is set on the PO — No Tax, a single Entire Order percentage, or a Per Item percentage on each line.

Can I apply discounts to a Purchase Order?​

Yes — choose a fixed amount or percentage discount, with an optional reason, in the Order Summary.

Can I edit a Purchase Order after completion?​

No — once a PO is Closed or Cancelled it cannot be edited or received against; use Duplicate to create a new PO from the same data.
