Purchases Guide
Record incoming stock against raw materials or products, with subtotal, VAT, and total computed for you.
Click Record Purchase, pick the raw material or product, enter quantity and unit cost, then fill in the supplier's document number and date.
Result: Stock is added and the purchase is logged with a computed subtotal, VAT, and total.
Toggle "VAT Registered" once at the top of the page for your business; per purchase, check "VAT-exempt" only if that specific purchase doesn't apply.
Result: VAT (12%) is calculated on the subtotal automatically whenever it applies.
Fill in Batch Number and Expiry Date on the purchase when the supplier provides them.
Result: Useful for perishable or lot-tracked ingredients later.
Recording purchases requires manager or admin access.
A finished product with its own recipe (composed from raw materials) doesn't appear in the picker -- its stock comes from that recipe, not a direct purchase. Raw materials and simple (non-recipe) products are always purchasable.
There's no edit or delete for an existing purchase entry here -- double-check quantity, cost, and dates before saving.
