FROM LOW STOCK

Turn a shortage into a draft.

Bring selected replenishment needs into purchase orders for review.

FROM DEMAND VS SUPPLY

Let demand inform the buy.

Compare sales velocity, cover targets, and existing supply before ordering.

FOR THE RIGHT VENDOR

Keep the source close.

Set preferred vendors on items and carry selected needs into orders grouped by vendor.

02 / TWO KINDS OF PROGRESS

The delivery and the bill
can arrive on different days.

Receive the quantities that actually arrive. Record what the vendor bills. Each keeps its own progress against the same purchase order.

Try billing 40 units, independently of what has arrived.

BILLED VALUE$0.00

Bill quantities are limited by what remains unbilled on the PO.

Cost enters with the receipt.

Each receipt creates a dated FIFO stock layer at the purchase-order cost. Later bill changes don’t revalue that receipt.

Receive where the work happens.

Open the PO on iPhone or Android and record the quantities at the receiving door.

03 / FROM THE BILL TO THE BANK

A balance to pay.
A trail to follow.

Record a payment made outside HQ, or pay the vendor by ACH through Quickvee Pay. The bill keeps the payment record. The transfer keeps its own status.

Vendor ACH is live for merchants.

THE DETAILS, CONNECTED

From the first order
to the final balance.

Purchase orders, stock receipts, and vendor payments stay connected while keeping their own records.

Can we receive only part of a purchase order?

Yes. Record the quantities that arrived and leave the remaining PO quantities open for a later receipt.

How does purchasing affect inventory cost?

Receiving against the PO creates FIFO stock layers at the PO cost, connecting the purchase to later valuation and cost of goods.

Can we pay vendor bills inside HQ?

Yes. Quickvee Pay supports vendor ACH payments, with onboarding, bank verification, and payment tracking.
