Purchasing

The main chain

Purchase Request (/app/purchasing/requests) is the internal requisition - typically approval-gated before it can become a real order (this is also what INFI’s auto-draft-from-low-stock automation creates; see INFI AI Assistant). Once approved, it becomes a Purchase Order (/app/purchasing/orders), which is received against as a Goods Receipt PO (/app/purchasing/grn) – distinct from the non-PO Goods Receipt in Inventory. A GRN includes a GRN sticker print route for label printing at receipt.

The GRN is then invoiced as an A/P Invoice (/app/purchasing/ap-invoices), or, for supplier advances, an A/P Down Payment Invoice (/app/purchasing/ap-down-payment-invoices - the same view, with a route-level apInvoiceSubtype toggling the mode).

Landed Costs

Landed Costs (/app/purchasing/landed-costs) allocates freight, duty, and other charges across a GRN’s line items, adjusting each item’s real landed cost. Landed cost entries have their own cancel action.

Returns

Goods Return Request (/app/purchasing/goods-return-requests) and Goods Return (/app/purchasing/goods-returns) mirror the request-then-fulfil pattern used elsewhere; a posted return can generate an A/P Debit Memo (/app/purchasing/ap-debit-memos) for the supplier credit adjustment.

Settings

Payment Terms and Convenience Fees (surcharges, typically for card payments) are configured under Settings and referenced throughout this chain.
