Sales & purchase orders
Raise sales and purchase orders, track them open→fulfilled, and convert a completed order into an invoice or a bill in one tap — kept out of your books until you do.
An order is what you agree before the money moves. A sales order is a customer's confirmed request to buy; a purchase order is what you send a supplier to buy from them. Finocket tracks both, shows you what's still open, and turns a completed order into an invoice or a bill in one tap. Orders live under Books & tax → Orders.
Orders are deliberately kept out of your books until you convert them: an open sales order is not a sale, so it never shows up in your income, GST returns or receivables, and an open purchase order isn't an expense. Nothing is counted twice.
Raise an order
On the Orders screen choose New sales order or New purchase order. Pick the customer (for a sales order) or type the supplier (for a purchase order), set the order date and an optional expected date, and add line items — pick a product from your catalogue to fill in the description and rate, set the quantity, and the line and order totals add up as you go. Each order gets its own number (SO-0001, PO-0001).
Track what's open
The register lists your sales and purchase orders side by side with a status — open, fulfilled or cancelled — so you can see at a glance what's still to be delivered or received.
Convert to an invoice or a bill
When a sales order is ready to bill, hit Convert to invoice: Finocket creates a draft invoice for that customer with the same line items, and marks the order fulfilled and linked to the invoice. A purchase order converts the same way into an expense (bill) for the order total. An order can only be converted once, so you never accidentally bill it twice.
