    Raise a purchase order

    On Purchase orders press New order and choose the supplier. Under What you are ordering, add each line — the product’s number, a description, quantity, cost each and GST %. + another line adds more.

    Press Save draft, then Send on the order when you have sent it to the supplier.

    Tip: The product’s number is the number at the end of its address when you open it in Products (…/products/123). Without it, the goods are recorded but no stock is added.
