When to use this: Use a direct purchase when goods arrive without a purchase order in BitMed. For example, a supplier may deliver goods ordered by phone or send an unexpected delivery.
Create a direct purchase
-
Open Purchases.
-
Click Receive Goods (GRN).
This opens the same goods-receiving screen used for purchase orders.
-
Select the Supplier.
-
Leave Link Purchase Order unused.
When no purchase order is linked, the GRN is saved as a direct purchase.
-
Add the medicines that actually arrived. Enter the details printed on the medicine pack and shown on the supplier invoice:
- Product: Select the medicine from the product list.
- Batch: Enter the batch number.
- Expiry: Select the expiry month and year.
- HSN and GST %: Enter or check the tax details.
- Qty: Enter the quantity received.
- Free: Enter any free quantity.
- Buy and Get: Enter a free-goods scheme, such as Buy 10 + Get 1, when applicable.
- Rate: Enter the price paid to the supplier per unit.
- Disc %: Enter the invoice discount, if applicable.
- MRP: Enter the MRP printed on the pack.
Click Add after entering each medicine. Add a separate line when the same medicine has a different batch, expiry date, rate, or MRP.
-
Check the item lines shown in the GRN. You can remove an incorrect line and add it again.
Important notes
- A direct purchase does not update a purchase order because no purchase order is linked.
- The supplier is still recorded against the GRN and the stock batch.
- Enter only the quantity that actually arrived.
- Check the physical pack carefully, especially the batch number, expiry date, and MRP.
- To print batch labels after saving, open the GRN list and use the Print labels action. See Print GRN Batch Labels.
