Purchase orders (POs) are the orders you send to suppliers. Relyant tracks each order from draft through sending and goods receipt, and adds received items to your inventory. To open it, in the left sidebar, click Purchase Orders under Purchasing.

​
Purchase order lifecycle

  1. Create — convert an approved purchase request, or click New Order.
  2. Send — click Send to Supplier to issue the order. If a workflow names approvers, the order waits for approval first.
  3. Receive — record each delivery as it arrives. Each one creates a goods receipt.
  4. Done — the order is fully received once every item has arrived.
