Purchase Orders & Suppliers

Overview

Verbstack's supplier and purchase order system helps you track where your inventory comes from and what it costs. Link suppliers to purchase orders and keep a record of your sourcing for P&L accuracy.

Managing suppliers

Navigate to Inventory > Suppliers or Settings > Suppliers to manage your supplier list:

• Add a supplier: Enter the supplier name, contact info, and any notes
• Edit or delete: Update supplier details as your relationships change
• Link to purchase orders: Each PO is tied to a supplier for cost tracking

Creating purchase orders

1. Go to Inventory > Purchase Orders
2. Click New Purchase Order
3. Select a supplier
4. Add line items with quantities and costs
5. Save as draft or submit

PO status lifecycle

Purchase orders move through these statuses:

• Draft: Created but not finalized
• Ordered: Submitted to the supplier
• Shipped: Supplier has shipped the goods
• Received: Inventory received and checked in
• Cancelled: Order was cancelled

Cost tracking

PO line item costs feed into your COGS calculations. When you receive a PO, the cost-per-unit is applied to the corresponding listings, keeping your profitability data accurate.
