📦 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, 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 to manage it.

🔄 2. Change the PO Status

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

This will activate the Reconcile option.


🧾 3. Reconcile the Materials

  • Here you can: click the three dots (⋯) again and select Reconcile. OR go to the status tab on the top.

  • Enter the actual quantities received for each item

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.
