Cómo crear una orden de compra

Cree una orden de compra para su proveedor, establezca los detalles del proveedor y del envío y luego recíbala cuando llegue el stock.

Una orden de compra (PO) es la forma en que se incorporan nuevas existencias a LunixPOS desde un proveedor. Usted lo redacta, lo envía al proveedor y luego recibe los artículos cuando llega el envío; se admiten recibos parciales.

  1. 1

    Open Inventory → Manage PO

    From the sidebar, click Inventory, then Manage PO. The Purchase Orders list opens with filters across the top: All, Draft, Ordered, Received, Partially-Received, Cancelled, Rejected.

  2. 2

    Click + New Purchase Order

    The PO form opens with empty Vendor, Shipment, and Products sections.

  3. 3

    Pick the Vendor and Destination

    Required fields:

    • Vendor — pick from your vendors list (search supported)
    • Destination — the location receiving the stock
    • Payment Terms — optional (e.g. Net 30)
    • Vendor Email — optional
    • Vendor Currency — if your supplier invoices in a different currency
  4. 4

    Fill in shipment details (optional)

    Estimated Arrival, Shipping Carrier, Tracking Number, and Tracking URL. Everyone touching the PO benefits from this — your team can click the Tracking URL to see where the package is.

  5. 5

    Add products to the order

    Use the product search to add line items. For each product set the Quantity, the Cost per unit, and optionally a Vendor SKU (the code your supplier uses on their invoice).

  6. 6

    Save as draft

    Click Save. The PO is created in Draft status. You can still edit everything.

  7. 7

    Send the order to your supplier

    When the draft is finalized, open the PO and click "Mark as Ordered". Status changes from Draft to Ordered. Export the PO to PDF and email it to your supplier — or use the supplier-portal link if they have one.

Pro tips

  • Exporting the PO to PDF requires the exportData permission. If you don't see Export, ask the owner to enable it on your role.
