**The general purchase order guide can be found here.**

Once your purchase order has arrived at your store, you have to use the receive PO function in order to enter it into inventory.

1. If there is no currently open order, select the order (double click the order or click Edit Selected Order) to which you would like to receive items.

2. Select the Order and Receive tab. The window will now display a list of all items included in the purchase order. Press Receive to bring up a list of ways to receive your items.

 

3. A small menu will pop up from the receive button offering you options for your receiving methods.

**Optional**

– Receive by Exception QTY ONLY

– Receive by Item QTY ONLY

4. A Receive Item(s) window will then be displayed listing your chosen items.

10. Another new window should appear, this one being the Post screen. This is the final step in your order.

 

11. Select the receiving set in the top window, which will make the items in that purchase order display in the lower window. Make one final check that all items and quantities are correct, as the next step is not reversible. If any corrections need to be made, press the Un-Receive button.

12. If you do not need to make any corrections, press Post button.

13. Several different warnings will pop up, asking if you are sure you wish to post and if there are no items left on the purchase order you will also be prompted to finalize the order. Once you finalize, the order is complete and can now be closed.
