Purchases (deals) and vendors

Vendors#

Purchase → Vendors (vendors.view). Each vendor has a code — it starts their deal codes and invoice numbers.

Purchase invoices#

Purchase → Purchase List (purchases.view). Add new opens the Purchase workshop (purchases.create):

1. Vendor. Choosing one assigns the next Deal code and an Invoice # (<vendor code>-<yyMMdd>-<nnn>).
2. Invoice date, Payment terms (or Custom due days) and Due date; an optional invoice file (PDF, Excel or image).
3. Lines — one per category: quantity and amount. A laptop line says how many laptops the deal holds; you then add each laptop against the deal.
4. Save. The purchase journal posts (stock in, payable to the vendor).

The deal code ties everything together: laptops added against it, its payments and returns, and the Deal report.

Pay vendors from Purchase → Payments — see Payments. Return goods with a Debit note or Purchase return — see Returns.
