Purchasing a Stock Item |
Top Previous Next |
A stock record is held on a stock card and stock cards are the basis for all transactions relating to your stock. A Purchase is created for all new stock cards except for: •trades - these form part payment of the stock item they were traded on, and therefore do not have a purchase in their own right. The value for a trade is reflected in the accounts by way of the Sale entry of the stock item on which it was created. See bringing in a trade. •consignment - items accepted for sale on consignment are not owned by you and won't be reflected in your accounts as part of your stock. For more information see working with consignment . •stock items where the status is On Order. Until the stock item is In Stock there is no purchase entry recorded. However if you need to pay for a stock item prior to receipt then a Purchase Order can be created from the stock card and will be available for payment in the Vendor Payment window. See stock statuses. •Stock items on "2-way" Floor Plan. No purchase is raised until a payout entry is recorded against the floor plan record.
