Purchasing is the only way to add new materials or products into the system. To make a purchase, first go to “Purchasing” page from the top navigation pane. You will see 2 tables; one is to make a new purchase, another for seeing recent purchases.

  1. At the top of the “New purchases” table, there is a “New purchase” button, click it to create a new purchase. Each purchase represents only 1 article.

  2. Write the batch number of the item. Batch number is critically important, and needed for traceability, especially for food production facilities. It doesn’t have to be unique, but the supplier-batch number match will be unique if your supplier is HACCP-compatible.

  3. Select the item. If it doesn’t exist in the system, you can create a new one.

  4. Select the Supplier/Brand. Create a new one if it doesn’t exist in system as did above.

  5. Set the purchase date. (It is automatically set to the date when the button is clicked)

  6. Set the “Best before (manual)” date.

  7. Write the “Amount purchased” and select “Units”. (You can add new unit to the dropdown if your unit doesn’t exist)

  8. Write the unit price. By default, the currency is set to “Euro”, but you can change it if you like. Please follow this guide to change the currency. Write the delivery cost if there is any. Unit price and delivery cost will be used to calculate the unit cost of the purchased item.

  9. It should look like this when filled:

  10. Click the “Execute” button at the end of the row.

  11. The purchase is executed and registered to the system. It appears at the “Most recent purchases” table. You can edit the values if you made a mistake, but don’t delete it if it’s been used or sold.
