Purchase Order

A purchase order (PO) is a formal document you send to a vendor to request goods. In Peasy, POs track what you've ordered, from whom, at what price, and whether it's been received.

How It Works in Peasy

  • Go to Buy > Purchase Orders to see all your POs
  • Create POs from the buy cart (recommended) or manually
  • POs move through statuses: Draft → Created → Sent → Confirmed → Partially Received → Received (or Cancelled)
  • Each PO is linked to a vendor and a location
  • When items arrive, you receive against the PO, which updates inventory and creates a bill

Why It Matters

POs are the starting point of the buying workflow. They connect to receiving (when items arrive), bills (when you owe the vendor), and inventory (when stock levels update). Without POs, there's no record of what was ordered or what's expected.
