TABLE OF CONTENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary
The summary provides you with an overview of the line items requested by the buyer, the date ordered, and the payment terms set.
2. Confirmations
If a confirmation is needed for a purchase order when a supplier has to confirm that they will supply the product by a particular date or not. View creating an order confirmation to see how. When a confirmation is created, it will appear in this section.
3. ASN
Any advanced shipping notices created for line items that the purchase order consists of will appear in this section. To see how to create an ASN, view Advanced Shipping Notice article.
4. Receipts
When the buyer receives the products they have requested for, they will generate a receipt in their own system, specifying whether they've received all of the products or only part of the order. If the supplier ships their products in different amounts (i.e. they make partial deliveries), a receipt is generated by the buyer for each delivery they receive. The receipts are then extracted by the Skyscend application, and will appear in the this section.
5. Invoices
An invoice is generated once the product delivery has been made and a receipt has been created by the buyer, confirming that they've received the shipment. View PO-Based Invoice to see how to create one. Invoices created for the purchase order will appear in this section.
NOTE: "In Progress" means the invoice is in draft, and "Reversed" means the invoice has been rejected by the buyer.
Conclusion
Therefore, once a buyer makes a purchase order for a supplier, the supplier confirms the order and ships the product(s). Once it's been shipped, the supplier sends an advanced shipping notice, to alert the buyer of the incoming delivery. When the buyer receives the product(s), they generate a receipt in their system. The supplier then creates an invoice to receive their payment for the delivery.
