Receiving materials through a Purchase Order in Ply helps you keep your inventory accurate and updated. Whether you receive the full order or just part of it, here’s how to properly receive and reconcile a PO.
✅ 1. Go to Your Purchase Orders
- Navigate to the Purchasing section.
- Locate the PO you want to process.
- Click the three dots (⋯) next to the PO you want to mark as received.
🔄 2. Change the PO Status or Drag an Drop.
Before you can reconcile, you’ll need to update the PO’s status:
- Click Change Status
- Select one of the following:
- Received – if the entire order has been delivered
- Partially Received – if only part of the order arrived
- Paid – if you've already paid for the PO and are now ready to receive materials
OR, drag and drop your PO card to the Received/Partially Received/Paid column.
This will activate the Reconcile option.
🧾 3. Reconcile the Materials
- Here you can: select Reconcile.
Or, open the PO, hit on the three dots and select Reconcile from there.
After that, enter the actual quantities received for each item and save your changes.
This step ensures your inventory reflects what physically arrived, not just what was ordered.
📄 4. Confirm and Generate Receipt
Once the quantities have been reviewed and adjusted:
- Click Confirm
- The system will generate a receipt summary and update your inventory levels automatically
ℹ️ When Can You Reconcile a PO?
You’ll be able to reconcile a Purchase Order when its status is:
- ✅ Paid
- ✅ Partially Received
- ✅ Received
If your PO is still marked as Draft, make sure to update its status first so the Reconcile option becomes available.
