Purchases

The Purchases tab is an internal queue for items that need to be bought and put away. It does not create a purchase order, charge a card, contact a vendor, or change a recipe.

Follow the inventory stages

Add a shortfall to Shopping List. When the purchase is arranged or paid outside FlowerBuddy, use Purchased. When the delivery arrives, use Receiving. Move received pieces to In Stock only after they are ready to use. Each stage changes the tracked quantity and writes an entry to Log.

For example, a studio needs 12 more bud vases. Add 12 to the shopping list. Mark 12 purchased after the supplier order is placed, receive 11 when one is missing, then stock 11 after they are shelved. The missing piece reduces Total rather than appearing as available stock.

Use Manage the shopping list to create or remove the request. Use Record purchases, receipts, and stock for the action dialogs and consequences.
