# Purchase orders and goods received

*Order from suppliers, record what arrives, and match the bill to both.*

1. Create a purchase order with the vendor, items, quantities and prices. If you want competing prices first, send a request for quotation.
2. Send the order to the vendor.
3. When the goods arrive, record a **goods received note (GRN)** for what actually came. Stock goes up and the ledger records the inventory.
4. When the bill arrives, match it to the order and the GRN.

The side panel shows deliveries that are late and items below their reorder level.
