Invoices, payments and overdue orders
Available on: Pro Plus.
You can record supplier invoices against a purchase order and track what has been paid, so the orders you still owe on are visible without leaving Stockie.
Recording an invoice
Open the purchase order and add an invoice to it, with its Invoice number, Invoice date, Due date and Amount.
Recording payment
Against a recorded invoice you can mark payment, including a Paid date. There is an option to record full payment for an invoice in one step.
The payment statuses
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| Unpaid | Nothing has been paid. This is where every purchase order starts |
| Partially paid | Some of what is owed has been paid, but a balance remains |
| Paid | Settled in full |
| Untracked | The order predates payment tracking. See below |
A new purchase order is Unpaid from the moment you create it, whether or not you have recorded an invoice against it. Recording an invoice does not change the status on its own - paying does.
Untracked
You will only see Untracked on orders that came from elsewhere: purchase orders imported from Stocky, and historical orders that predate payment tracking in Stockie.
It means Stockie has no payment history for the order and is not claiming any. Untracked orders are left out of your outstanding balance, so they do not distort what you are owed to pay.
Record an invoice against one and it rejoins the normal statuses. Nothing you can do in Stockie moves an order into Untracked.
Payment terms are not payment status
Setting payment terms on a purchase order does not change its payment status. Terms describe when payment is due; status describes what has been paid. An order with 30-day terms and nothing paid is Unpaid, the same as one with no terms at all.
What Overdue means
Overdue is about the invoice, not the delivery. It keys off the due date of an invoice you have recorded. A late shipment does not make an order overdue, and an order with no invoice recorded can never appear there.
If your Overdue view is empty while orders are visibly late, it is because their invoices have not been recorded, or have no due date.
Credit notes
There is no way to record a supplier credit note against a purchase order.
