When stock you ordered arrives with the supplier's invoice, you need to turn the existing stock order into a supplier invoice rather than creating a new one. This article shows you how, and why skipping this step leaves the order open.

This guide walks you through the process of creating a Supplier Invoice for an EXISTING Stock Order. If you do not follow these steps your Stock Order will not be marked as received.  

  • Create a Stock Order by following this guide: Process a Supplier Stock Order 
  • Click the Lightning Bolt icon on the top right and select Supplier Invoice.
