Find orders waiting to be received or billed
The Purchase page counts what needs attention. Click a box to see those orders, then work through them one by one.
Where to find it
PurchaseOrders
Steps
- Open Purchase. The boxes at the top count the documents that need attention: Draft RFQs, Purchase Orders, To Receive, To Bill and Active Value (the total of all orders that are not cancelled).
- Click To Receive. The list shows only the orders still waiting for goods. The To Receive column shows the value of what has not arrived yet.
- To look at the other list, click the filter at the top of the list to remove it, then click To Bill. The list shows the orders with goods received but not yet billed, and the To Bill column shows the value still to be billed. An order that is fully billed leaves the list.
- The same lists are under Orders > To Receive and Orders > To Bill.
- Type a vendor name or an order number in the search box to narrow the list further, then press Enter.
- Click an order to carry on: Receive the goods, or Create Vendor Bill.
Note
The boxes count the list you are looking at. When you click a box or type in the search box, the numbers change to match.
Tip
An order that is only partly received stays under To Receive, and the part that has arrived is waiting under To Bill. See Receive part of an order.
What happens next
When the goods arrive, receive them. When the vendor's invoice arrives, create the vendor bill.
