Purchasing Supplies

From Opentaps Wiki

Supplies are products which are purchased and consumed without tracking inventory. For example, your company probably would not want to track how many pencils were purchased (unless you sold pencils), but would just want them to be purchased and expensed as "Office Supplies."

In opentaps, when products are set up with a type of "Supplies" and a purchase order is created in the Purchasing application, they will be created on the PO as "Supplies." Then you can use the Purchasing > Orders >> [ Invoice Supplies ] screen to receive the supplies on an invoice. Once these supplies are received, a vendor invoice for them will be created in Financials. You can edit the invoice and change the items and prices or add additional charges usch as shipping, then mark it ready to post it to the general ledger.
