Purchase orders and supplier bills

Create a purchase order when you order from a supplier. When their invoice arrives, add it under Bills, or attach the PDF in Athena. We check it against the order and warn you if it is over.

1. Open Purchase orders and record the order: supplier, items and agreed amount.
2. When the supplier's invoice arrives, record it as a bill or attach the PDF.
3. Review any warning, such as an amount over the order or a bank detail that differs from last time, before you pay.

Matching is a safety check, not an approval. You still decide whether to pay, and payments follow your normal limits and approvals.
