Important clarification: Purchase invoices do not appear as invoices within the POS application or device. POS only displays sales invoices.
How do purchase invoices reflect in POS?
When you create and approve a purchase invoice in the accounting system (Purchases > Invoices), the inventory balance/items are automatically updated in the branch specified in the invoice. This update is reflected in POS upon synchronization.
If the balance is not reflected in POS after entering a purchase invoice:
-
Ensure the purchase invoice is in an “Approved” status and not a draft (drafts do not affect inventory).
-
Ensure the location/branch in the purchase invoice is the same branch used in the POS device.
-
Ensure the products in the invoice are the same products in POS (same item/barcode).
-
Ensure the product is of type “Stored” — non-stored products do not affect inventory balance.
-
Update the POS application + restart the device.
-
If the problem persists: clear the cache (temporary memory) after confirming that all sales invoices are synchronized.
Where do you review purchase invoices?
Purchase invoices are reviewed directly from the accounting system: Purchases > Invoices.
