Create an Order

Goal: Create a purchase order for approved items so the supplier can fulfil it and the items can later be received on board.

Pending Request -> Purchase Request -> Quotes -> Order -> Delivery

Create an order when the supplier and items are clear enough to commit to the purchase.

Before you start

You must have permission to create orders.
A purchase request or approved set of items should already exist.
Confirm the supplier, quantities, agreed prices, currency, and delivery port before saving.

### Open Orders

Open Stock & Supply, go to Procurement, and open the orders list.

Select the action to create a new order.

Add the order reference, date, supplier, delivery port, notes, and any required finance information.

Add the items being ordered. For each line, check the item, quantity, unit price, currency, and account information if your process uses it.

Check that the order matches the accepted quote or approved purchase request.

Save the order and move it through the available workflow steps when required.

The order is created and appears in the orders list. When the supplier delivers the goods, receive the order items to update stock quantities.
