    Receipt and Invoice a Purchase Order

    You will receipt a purchase order when you receive stock from suppliers. Purchase order product receipts require a packing slip number, and can be entered with or without a supplier invoice.


    To receipt a purchase order, go to Suppliers > Purchase Orders and locate the purchase order. 


    Use the spill menu beside the purchase order and select Receipt, or Receipt & Invoice as applicable.


    A new Purchase Order Receipt (or Purchase Order Receipt & Invoice) opens with the supplier information auto-filled. 


    Enter the Receipt and Invoice (if applicable) details. You can show or hide the invoice details by ticking the Enter Invoice checkbox. If you tick this, you'll see the same view as when you select Receipt & Invoice from the menu.


    Complete the receipt fields


    • Date: The date the goods have been received.
    • Received By: The person who receives the goods. This may or may not be the same person issuing the product receipt.
    • Receipt Number: Enter a product receipt number if required, or leave blank and Infusion will generate a receipt number.
    • Notes: Enter as required.
    • Packing Slip: Enter the packing slip number (required field).


    Complete the invoice fields


    • Dates: Enter the Invoice and Payment Due dates.
    • Our Order Number: Enter the purchase order number.
    • Supplier Invoice Number: Enter the supplier invoice number (required field).
    • Invoice Total (Incl GST): Enter the invoice total (required field).
    • Line Item Rates Are: GST exclusive. This field is pre-filled by details in the purchase order and cannot be changed. It is provided for information only.
    • Freight & Rounding: Enter if required. Ensure freight and rounding are correct for the invoice.
    • Variance: The difference between the invoice total and the received amount.


    The variance figure will update as you receipt product lines lower down the page. The variance figure calculates receipt lines against the invoice total, and must be at zero to post the receipt. You can record variances in the Rounding field, either manually or by using the arrows to auto-fill the variance amount.


    Add more purchase orders to the receipt 

    You can add more than one purchase order to the same receipt by selecting Add Purchase Orders above the purchase order line. This is useful if the supplier has sent products from two purchase orders on one packing slip or invoice. Selecting this option will add the lines of the purchase order to the receipt, and previously received or part received lines will be shown. 


    A pop up window will appear showing the available purchase orders to select from. Tick the checkbox next to the purchase order you want to add, and then select Add Selected.


    The lines of the purchase order will be added to the receipt.


    Products will be receipted to the location in the purchase order header. For example, if a purchase order created for Auckland is receipted with a purchase order for Christchurch, the location in the header of the purchase order will override the location the purchase order was originally set to. 


    Record the items received

    Select anywhere on the Product Line to enable editing of the product.


    When the line opens, it will default to the Receiving field. When you hover over the field, a box will appear telling you the number of ordered, received, and outstanding units (items), as well as the ratio of units. You can use this as a quick reference to check that what you've received matches what you ordered.


    Enter the number of units received. As you do this, other fields will update. The purchase order line Status will change to Received if the received and ordered quantities match. 


    If you enter a number that exceeds the number of units ordered, a box will appear to let you know.


    Receive all items at once

    If all or most of the items have been received, you can select Receive All to receive all items at the same time. All outstanding quantities will appear in the Receiving column. You can then edit any lines that were only partially received.


    When you select Receive All, the Status (Received) and costs fields will all update automatically. You can undo this action by selecting Undo Receive All.


    You are unable to edit a purchase order once it's been ordered, but you can at the receipting and invoicing stage. You'll notice that most fields become editable. Only edit details on the purchase order if they have not been entered, not been entered correctly, or something has changed before the items arrived.


    Post the receipt and invoice 

    Select Post in the Toolbar at the top of the screen. Then select Confirm on the pop-up window to receipt and invoice the purchase order.


    The Update Costs field provides options to update the costs of a product on the Product Pricing tab. This field defaults to the setting selected in Settings > Products > Product Settings. You can adjust this on each receipt. If options other than Update latest and average costs are selected, manual updates may be required to maintain costs on the product.

    If the receipt contains two lines of the same product with different rates, Infusion will use the lowest line on the screen as the latest costs.
