How do I record purchases and suppliers?

Purchasing in the sidebar manages suppliers and purchase orders. A supplier stores a name, contact person, phone, address, and a default payment term (pay now or monthly).

  1. Tap New Purchase, pick the supplier, and add the products, quantities, and unit costs (pre-filled with each product's current cost). A shipping fee can be added too.
  2. A draft never touches stock or payables — edit or delete it freely.
  3. When the goods arrive, tap Receive Stock: tracked stock goes up, and the purchase order gets its number and locks. By default receiving also updates each product's cost to this unit cost; turn off Sync Product Cost on the purchase order to keep costs unchanged.

The payment term decides what happens next: pay-now orders are marked paid, while monthly orders stay unpaid under Unpaid Bills, where you can settle them per supplier — one order, this month, or everything.

Purchasing requires the Standard plan or higher. A supplier with unpaid received orders can't be deleted.
