Manage purchase orders after they've been created to make any necessary adjustments. Check the status of your orders, accept deliveries when they arrive, delete or update orders, and mark orders as received once you review them. If needed, adjust the order summary when reviewing it. For instance, add additional items to an order if the supplier adds gifts to your purchase.

Receiving purchase orders

Receive purchase orders through the Inventory module so that your stock levels update to reflect your newly-arrived inventory.

1. Log in to the Inventory module with your Lightspeed credentials
2. From the navigation menu, select Purchase > Purchase order.
3. Search for and select the order that you've received.
4. Click Accept delivery to confirm that the delivery has arrived. Review the order, and add the order's invoice number in the invoice field.
5. (Optional) Click Add item to order to list additional items that you didn't order but are in the package (e.g., a supplier's gift).
6. (Optional) If you received more or fewer units than you ordered, change the quantity of an item by clicking it and adjusting the number of units. Note: If an item is missing from the shipment, change the quantity to 0. If the supplier plans to send it at a later time, create a new Purchase Order to receive that item when it arrives.
7. (Optional) If you want to include a PDF of the supplier invoice or pictures of the shipment, click Add PDF or image, then select the file from your computer to attach to this PO.
8. When done reviewing the order, click Receive order to finish and update it from Delivered to Received.
