๐Ÿ“ฆ How to Receive Materials in a Purchase Order (PO)

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, hereโ€™s how to properly receive and reconcile a PO.


โœ… 1. Go to Your Purchase Orders

  • Navigate to the Purchasing section.
  • Locate the PO you want to process.
  • Click the three dots (โ‹ฏ) next to the PO to manage it.

๐Ÿ”„ 2. Change the PO Status

Before you can reconcile, youโ€™ll need to update the POโ€™s status:

  • Click Change Status
  • Select one of the following:
    • Received โ€“ if the entire order has been delivered
    • Partially Received โ€“ if only part of the order arrived
    • Paid โ€“ if you've already paid for the PO and are now ready to receive materials

  • Enter the actual quantities received for each item

This step ensures your inventory reflects what physically arrived, not just what was ordered.


๐Ÿ“„ 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

โ„น๏ธ When Can You Reconcile a PO?

Youโ€™ll be able to reconcile a Purchase Order when its status is:

  • โœ… Paid
  • โœ… Partially Received
  • โœ… Received

If your PO is still marked as Draft, make sure to update its status first so the Reconcile option becomes available.
