Purchase order and goods received

Purpose

  • Record what you ordered (purchase order) and what arrived (goods received).
  • A purchase order does not post to the supplier balance, the bank, or stock.
  • On Premium, a goods received note with stock items increases quantity at the location. It does not put an amount on the supplier balance or take money from the bank.
  • Bill later with a Purchase Invoice, or pay now with Cash Purchase, by transferring the goods received or the purchase order.
  • Screen: Purchase → Purchase Document → Purchase Order, or Goods Received. New, or double-click a row.
  • There is no live purchase-order or goods-received wizard. Ask “how to create a purchase order” or “how to create a goods received”. To bill after goods arrive, use Record a supplier bill, or Transfer on the screen.

Before you start

  • The supplier exists.
  • Optional: default Purchase account on Account Setup, so line Account fills after you type unit price.
  • Premium / stock: products and location. Goods received lines with an item code move stock when you Save.
  • Optional: convert a quotation into a purchase order with Copy if you buy from a quote.

Purchase order — create

  • Purchase → Purchase Document → Purchase Order.
  • Click New Purchase Order (or F2).
  • Type to search Supplier (required). Address and attention fill from the supplier.
  • Leave Ref No. blank to use Next No., or type a unique number. Set Date (required).
  • Optional: Project, Remark, Supplier Inv No, Posting Date.
  • Enter line items (item code or description, qty, unit price, Account). After unit price, KinraSoft can fill description, qty, and account if defaults exist.
  • Click Save.

Purchase order — convert onward

  • On Purchase Order Listing, tick the order (or orders).
  • Transfer (same supplier; purchase order status becomes Transferred) or Copy (the order stays; you can mix suppliers).
  • In the pop-up, tick Goods Received, Purchase (invoice), or Cash Purchase.
  • Click Transfer or Create.
  • The new document opens with lines copied. Edit qty if this is a partial receipt. Click Save.

Goods received — create from scratch

  • Purchase → Purchase Document → Goods Received.
  • Click New Goods Received (F2).
  • Select Supplier (required). Set Date (required). Leave Ref No. blank for Next No.
  • Enter lines. For stock, pick Item Code, qty, and location (if you use locations). Set Account and price as needed on the printout.
  • Click Save. Stock (Premium) updates on save.

Goods received — from a purchase order

  • Open Purchase Order Listing.
  • Select the document (or documents) → Transfer or Copy.
  • Tick Goods Received → Transfer or Create.
  • Edit qty if this is a partial delivery. Save.

Convert goods received to invoice or cash purchase

  • On Goods Received Listing, select the goods received.
  • Transfer or Copy → tick Purchase or Cash Purchase.
  • Transfer or Create. Edit. Save.
  • If you transfer a goods received into the invoice, KinraSoft does not move stock again on the invoice. The goods received already did.

Print, email, edit, delete

  • Same pattern as sales documents: print format and PDF, envelope (supplier email on Maintain Supplier), double-click to edit, dust-bin to delete, Save As New for a duplicate with a new number.
  • Deleting a goods received reverses its stock movement.

Listing search

  • Combine Supplier, date range, Status, Project, and the keyword box (document no., description, amount). Click Search (F9).
  • Purchase Order status: All (not cancelled), Pending (not yet transferred), Transferred (already transferred), Cancelled.
  • Goods Received status: All (not cancelled), Pending (not yet billed), Billed (already transferred to an invoice or cash purchase), Cancelled.
  • Tick the date check box to use Start Date and End Date. Start only means on or after. End only means up to that date.

Stock

  • Goods received, purchase invoice, cash purchase, and debit note with item codes: quantity in.
  • Credit note with items: quantity out (return to supplier).
  • Purchase order: no stock.
  • Basic and Plus plans without inventory: use goods received as a receiving note only.
  • Do not also raise a separate Product Received for the same goods, or you double-count stock.
  • Do not put the same item qty on both a goods received and a purchase invoice or cash purchase unless one was transferred from the other.

If something goes wrong

  • Copy or Transfer says nothing selected. Tick the purchase order or goods received row first.
  • Transfer blocked. All selected rows must be the same supplier. Use Copy if they differ.
  • Supplier still shows nothing owing. Expected until you save a Purchase Invoice.
  • Stock card did not change on a purchase order. Expected. Stock moves on goods received, invoice, or cash purchase.
  • Stock card did not change on goods received. The plan has no inventory, or the line has no Item Code.
  • Double stock in. You saved both a goods received and an invoice or cash purchase with the same item qty without Transfer. Transfer one into the other, or do not put items on both.
  • Duplicate Ref No. Leave blank for Next No., or pick an unused number.
