Purchases, suppliers and real cost prices

Buying is where a shop's margin is actually decided, and it is usually the least recorded part of the business: a supplier called, a delivery half checked, an invoice in a drawer. BelloPOS turns that into a purchase order you can receive against, so what arrived, what was missing and what it cost are all written down at the moment they are known.

Receiving a delivery raises the stock count and records the cost you actually paid, which is what makes every margin figure elsewhere in the app true. Suppliers get their own records with their history behind them, so the next order starts from what this supplier really charges rather than from last year's price. Purchasing comes with a BelloPOS Go licence, bought once for life.

What it does

Purchase orders you can receive against

Build the order line by line, send it, then tick off what turned up. Shortages and substitutions are recorded rather than remembered.

Deliveries land straight in stock

Receiving raises the count on the spot, so the shelf, the stockroom and the software agree without a second data entry pass.

Cost prices that are true

The price on the delivery becomes the cost price on the product, which is what turns the margin column into something you can act on.

A record per supplier

Contact details, past orders and what you have paid them, so a negotiation starts from evidence instead of a feeling.

How it works, step by step

  1. 1Create the supplier once, with their contact details.
  2. 2Build a purchase order from what is low in stock.
  3. 3Send it, and keep it open until the delivery arrives.
  4. 4Receive the delivery: quantities go into stock, prices become cost prices.
  5. 5Compare margins per line before deciding what to reorder.

Questions merchants ask

Which plan includes purchasing?

Purchase orders and supplier records come with BelloPOS Go, a lifetime licence bought once. Stock levels and stock takes are already in the free Lite plan.

Does receiving a delivery update my stock?

Yes. Receiving against a purchase order raises the count for every line received and records what you paid as the new cost price.

Can I see what a supplier has cost me?

Yes. Each supplier keeps their order history, so what you have bought and what it cost is on one screen.
