Purchasing

From purchase order to shelf: receive in shipments, with the supplier's balance booked as each one arrives.

Dashing follows a purchase from order to shelf: you create the purchase order, even offline, and receive the goods in full or in parts; stock comes in and the supplier's balance is booked for each shipment separately. Before ordering, you can request prices from several suppliers and compare them on one screen. Sending the order to the supplier remains in your hands.

The purchase order

Draft, then confirmed, then partially or fully received, then partially or fully paid; it can be cancelled before receiving or voided afterwards with a reversing entry. A trade discount can apply to the whole order. The order is created on the device without internet and uploads like a sale, exactly once. To send it to the supplier, export a PDF from its page and send it yourself; there is no automatic sending and no shared catalogue between shop and supplier.

When half the shipment arrives

You record the quantities that actually arrived, line by line. Stock comes in for those quantities, the supplier's balance is booked for their value only, and the order stays "partially received" until the rest arrives. The item's cost is updated with the real receiving price, and if it was sold before it arrived, its provisional cost is corrected at receiving. In the current version a photo of the delivery note cannot be attached to a receipt; attachments exist for expenses only.

Before you order

  • Quote requests: the same items to several suppliers, prices and promised delivery times side by side on one screen, then a purchase order from the quote you pick
  • A scorecard per supplier from their received orders: on-time delivery rate, the share of the ordered quantity that arrived, and a score out of 100
  • Reorder suggestions based on the inventory's reorder points, turned into a draft purchase order with one tap

Payables

Supplier payments are recorded and allocated to the oldest orders first, and the payables aging report shows what is due and when, with a "this week" filter. In the sample shop, suppliers were owed 1,324,080 dinars, the largest balance being to Dijla Food Warehouses.

What it does not do

No automatic sending of the purchase order to the supplier (export the PDF and send it yourself), no shared supplier catalogue, and no photo attachment at receiving in the current version. Counts work on the total quantity, not per branch.

Common questions

What if only half the shipment arrives?

Receive what arrived in its actual quantities; stock comes in and the supplier's balance is booked only for what you received, and the order stays "partially received" until the rest arrives.

Can I create a purchase order offline?

Yes. It is saved on the device and uploaded when the connection returns with a unique key, like sales.

How do I send the purchase order to the supplier?

Export the PDF from the order's page and send it on WhatsApp or by email yourself. The software does not send it on its own.
