The steps in processing material purchase orders are as follows:

  1. Enter the order (see Entering an Order).

  2. Print and commit the order (see Printing Purchase Orders and Committing Purchase Orders) – these may be done either way round.

  3. Record deliveries (see Material GRNs).

  4. Enter Invoices (using purchase ledger).

  5. Match Invoices (see Invoice Matching).
