You can also create a GRN from within the Purchase Order.

To do this, go to Purchasing > All Purchase Orders > find your relevant Stock PO

From here, click the Items tab and then Create Stock GRN.

The data will populate automatically for you. Click Save if you are happy with the details.

Creating a GRN will mark the Purchase Order line item(s) as Delivered, automatically.

If you amend the quantity, the line item will show as Partially Delivered and show you how many are outstanding.

When you next click Create Stock GRN, it will pull through all remaining items. Again, you can choose the line items and amend the quantities as needed.

Stock Purchase Invoices

To add a Purchase Invoice, you can either go to :

Purchasing > All Goods Received Notes > Add Purchase Invoice

or Purchasing > All Purchase Invoices > Add Purchase Invoice

Image 20.png

Next, choose your Supplier. This will then open the Stock PO Number dropdown.

Image 22.png

Choose your Purchase Orders as needed. You can add more than one by ticking the relevant boxes.

Image 23.png

And then choose your GRN Numbers. Again, you may choose more than one if required.

Image 24.png

Once your GRN has been chosen, then items will be listed below for reference. Here, you can amend the Invoice Price, Invoice Qty, VAT and Overridden VAT Amount, along with deselecting line items as a whole.

If you wish to only invoice part of the GRNs Qty, you can amend the Invoice Qty to reflect this.

Your Pending Invoice Qty will then be updated automatically to show you what you have left to invoice.

grn2.png

You will need to enter a Purchase Invoice Number and the Date as these are mandatory fields.

You can then add a Reference and Attachment of the Invoice before clicking Save.

grn4.png

This will then mark your GRN as Completed and Invoice Matched.

Image 26.png

It will also mark your Purchase Order as Invoice Matched.

Image 27.png

However, if there is anything still outstanding, the GRN and invoices statuses will reflect this

grn3.png

If you click into the Items tab on your GRN, you will be able to view which Invoice the line items are associated with. This is a hyperlinked text meaning you can click on this to view your Stock Purchase Invoice details.

Image 28.png

On the All Purchase Invoices page, you can view all Purchase Orders and Goods Received Notes associated with the Invoice.

There will be a + button with a number against it to show you how many further PO’s or GRN’s are against the Purchase Invoice. All items here are hyperlinked and will take you to the relevant pages if clicked.

Credits

To raise a Credit against a Stock Purchase Invoice, click through to Purchasing > All Purchase Invoices > choose your invoice > Credits tab

Image 30.png

Click Add Credit, and you’ll be transferred to the Add Purchase Credit page

Image 31.png

Firstly, enter your Purchase Credit Number and the Date.

Next, add a Reference if required. This field is not mandatory and can be left blank.

Image 32.png

Finally, check over your line items. Untick lines that do not need to be credited, or make amendments to the Credit Price, VAT and Overridden VAT Amount as required.

Click Save when you are happy with the details.

Image 33.png

The Credit will show in the All Purchase Invoices list in the same way as the Invoices. You can view the PO’s and GRN’s associated with the Credit by clicking the links or the + icon to view more.

Variances

If you do make amendments to the Prices when creating a Stock Purchase Invoice or Credit, Joblogic will calculate the Variance for you.

The Unit Variance and Total Variance will be populated automatically.

Image 35.png

The All Purchase Invoices screen will also be updated with the overall Total Variance for that Invoice/Credit.

Image 36.png

You can set up a default Nominal Code for your Purchase Price Variances if required.

To do this, go to Settings > System Setup > Financial tab
