Purchases
Purchase orders
What was ordered, what arrived, and what is still short.
A purchase starts as a list: item, qty, and the supplier.
Sending the order is a state. A draft is not a promise to the yard.
A receipt records what actually arrived. The short qty stays short.
The bill from the supplier can be matched to that receipt before it is accepted.
The store sees what is still to come in.
A repeat buy can start from the last order. The price is checked, not assumed.
Branches can request. The centre can approve before the order is sent.
A new buyer can raise an order and mark a receipt.
The desk does not hide a price change. The line shows the rate that was used.
The week closes as ordered, received, and still open.
