Create Purchase Invoice
Creating a Purchase Invoice in Agora is a streamlined process that handles inventory batching and accounting in a single workflow.
Step 1: Vendor & Header Info
Select the supplier and set the invoice date and number. This establishes the vendor's Accounts Payable (AP) record.
Step 2: Adding Items
Search for products to add to the purchase. For each item, you will specify the quantity and the vendor's unit price.
Batch Configuration
As you add items, you can set expiry dates and warehouse destinations. Agora automatically generates unique batch IDs for tracking.
Step 3: Landed Costs & Finalize
Add any additional costs like shipping or customs. Agora distributes these across the items to calculate the final landed cost. Choose the payment account (if paying immediately) and complete the transaction.
Real-World Use Cases
- Inventory Replenishment: Receiving a monthly shipment of stock, logging the invoice to automatically update warehouse inventory levels and increase the Accounts Payable balance for that vendor.
- Expense Capitalization: Recording the purchase of a new piece of store equipment so its value is properly capitalized in the system.
