Purchases by Division, Department, and Product
Purchases per product by the department (warehouse or outlet) that received the goods. For matching stock-ins at each warehouse to invoices.
Questions It Answers
- What value of goods came into warehouse A from purchases this month?
- Which products were bought directly for a given outlet?
- Does the warehouse stock-in match the purchase invoice lines?
Filters
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Transaction Date | Date range of the purchase invoices. Empty means the whole history - slow on years of data, so always fill it. |
| Division | Pre-filled from the user role's default division. A role locked to one division cannot change it. |
| Department | Limits to one department (warehouse/outlet) inside the division; pre-filled from the role default when set. |
| Product Code | One product only - handy for tracing the history of a single item. |
| Serial Number | Match a serial number exactly (=) or partially (like). Only meaningful when the company uses serial numbers. |
How To Read It
Nested result: Division > Department > product rows. The department is read from the invoice line (where stock came in), not the header.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quantity, Unit | Quantity bought in the unit written on the invoice - not converted to the base unit, so 1 box and 12 pcs show as two rows. |
| Gross | Purchase price x quantity before line discount. |
| Discount | Supplier's discount per product line. Invoice-level discount (at the foot of the invoice) is not here. |
| Net | Gross - Discount. |
| Tax, Extra Tax | Line input VAT, and any extra tax computed per product. |
| Subtotal | Net + Tax + Extra Tax. |
| Serial Number, Expiration Date | Shown only when the company uses product serial numbers/expiry; otherwise the columns are absent. |
Source: approved Purchase invoices (when the approval workflow is on). Purchase returns are not deducted here - see the Purchase Return reports.
Why The Numbers May Differ
- One invoice can be split across departments when its lines go to different warehouses - same total, different grouping.
- The Department filter limits product lines, not the invoice.
- Documents still waiting for approval are not counted. If the approval workflow is on and the figures look low, check the Approval Queue.
- Invoice-level discount (at the foot of the invoice) does not reduce the per-product figures here, so the Subtotal total can exceed the invoice totals in Purchase Summary.
- Quantities are not converted between units: a product bought in boxes and in pieces shows as separate rows with their own quantities.
- Purchase returns are not deducted. For net purchases, subtract the Purchase Return report with the same grouping.
