Create a purchase order
Record what you intend to buy, from whom, and where it should be received.
Guide reviewed 14 September 2026 · Controls depend on your app version and access.
Before you begin
You need an available supplier/customer record, the item information and an intended receiving location. Use the currency that applies to the order.
01Open the new-order form
In Purchases, use the available create action to open New purchase order. Enter a distinct order number and choose the supplier.
02Choose items and destination
Select the receiving location where required. Add each item and check its identifier, ordered quantity, unit price and tax amount.
03Review the complete total
Review every line and the order total before choosing Create order. A purchase order expresses an intended purchase; it does not confirm receipt or payment.
04Open the saved order
Check the resulting order number and lines. Use its related receipt and payment history to follow subsequent work.
Check the result
The saved order contains the intended supplier, items, quantities, currency and location.
If something does not look right
Purchases searches loaded records; load more if needed. If the server did not confirm the saved record, close and check the list before creating another order.
