From Purchase Order to Delivery Challan: Control Your Buying

Courier handing a cardboard parcel to a receiver - purchase orders and delivery challans for retail buying

Selling is only half of retail. The other half is buying the right goods at the right cost and knowing what has actually arrived. Znex POS covers the whole purchase cycle, from the order you place to the bill you pay and the goods you send back.

Place orders with the information you need

A purchase order shows each item with its current stock, last purchase price, last landed cost and average cost. Seeing these numbers while ordering helps you negotiate and avoid paying more than before.

Track deliveries with a delivery challan

When goods arrive, a delivery challan is recorded against the purchase order number with its delivery number, date, quantities and status. You can see what has been delivered and what is still pending from the supplier.

Record the purchase with batch and expiry

The purchase entry captures invoice number and date, item cost, rate, sales price, batch number and expiry date. Minimum sales price and quantity details are stored as well, so selling prices stay profitable. For items that expire, batch and expiry information makes it easier to sell stock in the right order.

Return goods cleanly

Damaged or wrong goods can be sent back through a purchase return entry, with a purchase return summary report for review. Stock and supplier balance are adjusted together.

Know your suppliers

Supplier item history and supplier payment reports show what you bought from whom, at what price, and what is still to be paid. That makes supplier comparison and payment planning straightforward.
