The New/Edit Purchase Order dialog is where you fill in the details for a purchase order. To open this dialog, click the Purchases menu and select New Purchase Order.

Order Supplier

Choose the Supplier from the pull down list, or enter a new supplier. Adding new suppliers here will create a new record for the supplier on Suppliers List so you can quickly access every time you create purchase orders.

Vendor address

Enter the vendor's address.

Ship To

Enter the address the products should be sent to. Leave this blank if this is not required.

Tax

Purchase Order Items

This is the list of items on the order. Click on the Add button to add a new item, then click within the Item or Description cells to access a drop-menu where you can select an item, or type the name of a new item. Change the Quantity or Unit Value by typing in a new value. Remove an item by clicking the red "X" at the right of the item entry.

When you enter new items here, they will automatically be added to the Items List so you can quickly add them to orders, quotes and invoices later.
