Record Purchase Order and Receipt Note

In some business scenarios, you may want to raise a demand to the supplier for a supply mentioning the required stock details. You can record a Purchase Order in TallyPrime to raise such demand indicating the types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. It controls the purchasing of products and services from external suppliers. Similarly, once you have received the goods, you can record a Receipt Note in TallyPrime to account for the goods received and against the existing Purchase Order as well. You can view your purchase bills that are pending and also pre-close orders via partial cancellation or complete cancellation as well.

When the order is placed with the suppliers for the supply of goods, the items, quantities, order due date, and so on, details are given with the Purchase Order Number. Later, when these goods are received, the Purchase Order is tracked for the Order Details in the Receipt Note or in the Purchase invoice based on your preferred business practices. If you follow the Order>Receipt Note>Purchase flow or Order>Purchase flow, TallyPrime gives you the flexibility to follow your preferred practices as they are.

The Outstanding Purchase Order reports are available in TallyPrime. Also, knowing the order position of any item in the Stock Summary is possible. Separate Purchase Order Outstanding report and Purchase Order Summary report are also available.
