Process a supplier invoice for goods

Click on Purchases > Purchase Invoices and complete the following:

  • Search by Supplier – select the supplier to which the invoice relates or
  • Stock Item – the item being invoiced or
  • Supplier Stock Ref. – supplier’s stock code or
  • Purchase Order Number – if shown on the invoice or
  • GRN Number – if known
  • Click on Search to find the order or GRN relating to this invoice.

You will need to complete the following:

  • Supplier’s Invoice Number – enter the invoice number
  • Invoice Date – enter the invoice date
  • Quantity – enter the quantity invoiced against the appropriate order line
  • Net Value – enter the line item value (excluding VAT) and you will see that the application will calculate the unit price to compare with the original purchase order value
  • VAT Value – enter the line item VAT value hint: if the invoice/ receipt shows only total VAT rather than by line item, then input time can be saved by entering the ‘vat value’ on one line item only

Click on Submit and the invoice will now appear on the Purchase Invoice listing screen, and the purchase order line item will be marked as invoiced.

Where no appropriate purchase order or GRN details are found by the application you can click Receive without Order and process the invoice as you would for any invoice with no Order/ GRN but please be aware that where a Stock Item type is being invoiced, you will still need to process the supplier delivery note in order to update stock.
