Purchasing Process
You can begin the purchasing process in SAP Business One by requesting quotations for items
or services from your vendors using the purchase quotation document. Once you have
compared the vendors' quotes and found the best offer, you proceed to ordering the goods. To
order the items or services, you create a purchase order document.
The next stage is the goods receipt PO. It is the stage when the inventory is received into the
company. The goods receipt is followed by an A/P invoice, which is the request for payment. It
is the only mandatory document in the purchasing process. It is possible to create the A/P
invoice without first creating a goods receipt PO or a purchase order.
Each document affects inventory quantities, and some affect the general ledger. The purchase
order affects the available inventory quantity. The goods receipt PO increases the actual
inventory quantity. If you create an A/P invoice without reference to the goods receipt PO, it will
also increase the quantity in stock.
As far as accounting is concerned, the A/P invoice always creates an accounting transaction. It
records freight and tax and updates the vendor account with the new outstanding balance.
The A/P reserve invoice only affects the available inventory quantity and creates an accounting
transaction.
