How to select a vendor and enter the invoice number

In this guide: Connect a purchase to the supplier and keep the supplier's invoice number with your record.
Vendor selection
A vendor is optional for a fully paid purchase. Select one when you want to review purchases by supplier, keep an open or consignment purchase, or track how much your business owes that supplier.
Steps
Start a new purchase.
In the Vendor area, search for and select the supplier.
If the vendor does not exist, use the new-vendor option, enter its details, save it, and select it.
Enter the supplier's invoice or bill number in Reference Number.
Add the received products and continue the purchase.
When a vendor is required
RepairNest POS requires a vendor for an open or consignment purchase because the remaining balance must belong to a supplier account.
Tip
Enter the number exactly as it appears on the vendor invoice. This makes the purchase easier to search and helps prevent duplicate entry.
