- Purchase requests: quantities only, no prices.
- Purchase orders: states are draft, pending approval, approved, sent, partly received, received, closed, and cancelled.
- Reorder suggestions: items below their reorder level.
- Purchasing settings: approval by value and the over-receipt tolerance, per place.
Receiving
Operators receive against a purchase order from the Receive screen. Receiving updates the average cost. Quantity above the order and tolerance is refused with over_receipt.
