How Purchase orders work in shopVOX

Aaron Aldrich Updated by Aaron Aldrich

You can manually select the Purchase Order status from the STATUS dropdown.​

This doesn't allow you to track whether specific line items were received however.

Inventory Add-On

With the Inventory add-on, you are able to create Material Receipts.

Material Receipts will allow you to track receipt of the individual line items on a Purchase Order and how many were partially (or fully received)

Once Inventory is enabled, you can create Material Receipts from the Action button on the Purchase Order.
