Purchase orders, vendor bills, and inbound shipments in MercExe

Purchase

Procure to pay, one Purchase menu

From vendor to payable

Buy what you need, bill what you received

  • Draft through sent, partially received, billed, closed, or cancelled
  • Receive shipment from the PO; multiple inbound deliveries per order
  • Print, email, or WhatsApp the PO PDF

Arrive, bill, credit

Shipments, bills, and vendor credits

Track what the vendor sent, what you owe, and what they credited back — without splitting payables into a second product.

Inbound shipments linked to purchase orders

Inbound shipments

Vendor bills with GST and payment status

Bills

Vendor bills are the payables. GST lines follow vendor GSTIN. Confirm, print, send, and record payment against the bill linked to the PO or shipment.

  • GST on purchases from vendor GSTIN and state
  • Payment status on the bill list
  • Print, email, or WhatsApp the bill PDF
Vendor credit notes applied to bills

Vendor credits

Record a vendor credit note for returns or price adjustments. Redeem it against bills or as an advance on the next vendor payment.

  • Same tax structure as a bill, in reverse
  • Apply credit when you pay the vendor
  • Generate using AI can draft a credit from paper

Settle

Vendor payments

Pay bills from cash, bank, or cheque. Record an advance, apply unused advance or vendor credit, and capture TDS where it applies. The payment receipt prints, emails, or goes on WhatsApp.

Why MercExe Purchase

PO, receipt, and bill stay linked

Partial deliveries do not orphan the order. You bill what arrived, not a second spreadsheet.

Payables on the same chain

Vendor payments, advances, and credits post with GST to the books you already run in Accounting.

Paper vendor invoices are allowed

Generate using AI drafts the document. You still confirm matches before anything is saved.

Warehouse does the dock work

Purchase starts the inbound shipment. WMS runs scan receive and putaway on the floor.
