Purchases
Purchase Smarter and Keep Incoming Stock Organized.
Record what you bought, from which vendor, at what price, and how much of the bill has been settled — with the received stock flowing straight into inventory.
- Purchase invoices against vendor records
- Payables and vendor payment history
- Stock receiving tied to the purchase
The problem
Buying side records are usually the weakest
Purchases often happen under pressure: a vendor arrives, goods are counted quickly, and the bill is set aside to be dealt with later. Two weeks on, nobody is certain what was received at what rate, or what is still owed.
The result is a business that knows its sales but not its buying — which makes margin hard to understand and vendor balances hard to trust.
What it looks like in practice
- Purchase bills filed away without being recorded
- Vendor balances tracked separately, or not at all
- Received quantities that never reach stock records
- No easy way to compare what you paid across vendors over time
How Tijarat Desk handles it
Purchases recorded as they happen
Each purchase is an invoice to a vendor with its lines, rates and totals. Payments against that bill are recorded as they are made, so the payable balance is always the difference between what was billed and what was paid.
Because the same purchase drives stock receiving, inventory reflects incoming goods without a second round of data entry.
Payables you can confirm
Know what is owed to each vendor instead of relying on their statement alone.
Stock that matches the bill
Received quantities are recorded against the purchase that brought them in.
Cost visibility
Purchase history per vendor makes price movement easier to follow.

Questions
Purchases — frequently asked questions
Do purchases update inventory automatically?
Stock receiving is part of the purchase flow, so goods recorded as received are reflected in inventory rather than entered separately.
Can I pay a vendor in parts?
Yes. Payments can be recorded against a purchase bill as they are made, and the remaining balance stays as a payable.
Can I see everything I have bought from one vendor?
Vendor records hold their purchase history, so you can review previous purchases and rates from the vendor's profile.
Is the word used for these parties 'vendor'?
Yes. Tijarat Desk uses the term vendor throughout — for the businesses and people you buy from.
