How do I receive new goods from a supplier?
A purchase invoice brings stock in and corrects the cost.
- From "Purchases and suppliers" create a purchase invoice, choose the supplier, and add the items with quantities and unit cost.
- On saving, the quantities enter stock as a documented receipt movement, not as a number written over a balance.
- The item cost updates as a weighted average between what was in stock and what arrived. Taking the latest price alone makes cost jump in ways that do not reflect what you actually hold, and the profit figure comes out false.
- What you paid on the invoice is logged as an expense automatically, and the remainder shows as owed to the supplier.
