Purchasing

Purchasing is the inbound side of the warehouse - ordering stock from suppliers and booking it in when it arrives.

Workflow

1. Decide what to buy - either by hand, or from replenishment suggestions
2. Create a purchase order - items, quantities and costs for one supplier
3. Mark it as sent - and optionally email it to the supplier as a PDF
4. Receive the goods - the goods receipt is what actually books stock in
5. Add landed cost - allocate freight, customs and fees so the stock is valued at what it really cost
