On Import of a Purchase Invoice/Credit Note (Non-Supported Supplier), the importer DOES NOT build a data file of the Invoice/Credit Note details as part of the import process, this needs to be manually keyed in at the time of import so that Katipolt can process the Invoice/Credit Note’s data.

Once imported, the Invoice/Credit Note displays in the Purchases List where it can be checked, and if needed unlocked, edited, and re-locked again.

On Import, the Purchase importer also imports a PDF copy of the Invoice/Credit Note being imported that can be viewed at a later time. This can be found in the Correspondence Top Tab of the Invoice/Credit Note.

Purchase Invoices/Credit Notes that have a valid Job Reference will be assigned to that Job, making their Product Lines available to be pulled into a Sales Invoice on [Get Costs].
