The Purchase Register



The Purchase window is structured the same as the other registers within the program, with a main window and several tabs with detailed information about the purchase order. The information about the supplier and products is retrieved from the respective registers.

Before you can use the purchase module you have to have created the supplier in the supplier register and the product in the product register.
