Purchase Order Creation in ERPNext or How to create Purchase Order in ERPNext ?

You can create Purchase Order from Supplier Quotation and Material Request or We can Create Purchase Order directly by

1)Goto Buying->Purchase Order->New

In the Purchase Order select Supplier from which you are buying goods and add Items

While adding Items you can see Reqd By Date, Here you can enter the date when you want that Item

2)While adding Item you can add Item quantity,Rate,UOM also.

Sometimes your Stock UOM and Supplier UOM varies, For example your supplier sends item in terms of UOM Box and and you maintain that item in Nos ie your Stock UOM, that time you can use Conversion Factor

in the above diagram you can see seller UOM is Box and our UOM is Nos. 1Box=10Nos so in UOM Conversion factor we entered 10. Here our suppliers send 10Box of item and 1Box contains 10Nos means we will receive 100Nos unit of item so in the above diagram you can see Qty as per Stock UOM is 100. If you want you can also add Project Name,BOM. Mention the warehouse for which you are buying the Item.

3)You can also add Taxes like VAT(Value Added Tax) in Purchase Order(PO). Your supplier will charge tax for you and the same you will charge to your customer.
