Create purchase orders and receive stock

Overview

Create purchase orders and receive stock is a common workflow in TillTech. This guide covers the recommended setup path and the checks that help you avoid mistakes.

Before You Start

• Inventory module enabled
• Stock items created
• Staff permissions for stock actions

Recommended Steps

1. Confirm item units (each/kg/litre) and barcodes/SKUs are consistent.
2. Receive or adjust initial stock so your starting counts are correct.
3. Configure low stock thresholds for critical items.
4. Run a small cycle count to validate the workflow.
5. Review inventory valuation and discrepancies weekly.

Best Practices

• Make one small change at a time and validate the result.
• Test the full flow end-to-end before rolling out to staff.
• Keep permissions tight: give access only to people who need it.
• Use consistent naming for products, categories, and locations.

Troubleshooting

• If a setting appears not to apply, confirm you are editing the correct location/workspace.
• If reports don’t match expectations, verify time zone and tax settings first.
• If devices aren’t syncing, check network connectivity and re-authenticate where applicable.
