Buying Settings is where you can define properties which will be applied in the Buying module's transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let us look at the various options that can be configured:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Supplier Naming By
|
|
|
|
When a Supplier is saved, system generates a unique identity or name for that Supplier which can be used to refer the Supplier in various Buying transactions.
|
|
|
|
If not configured otherwise, ERPNext uses the Supplier's Name as the unique name. If you want to identify Suppliers using names like SUPP-00001, SUPP-00002, or such other patterned series, select the value of Supplier Naming By as "Naming Series".
|
|
|
|
You can define or select the Naming Series pattern from:
|
|
|
|
> Setup > Settings > Naming Series
|
|
|
|
[Click here to know more about defining a Naming Series.]({{url_prefix}}/user/guides/setting-up/settings/naming-series.html)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Default Supplier Type
|
|
|
|
Configure what should be the value of Supplier Type when a new Supplier is created.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Default Buying Price List
|
|
|
|
Configure what should be the value of Buying Price List when a new Buying transaction is created.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Maintain Same Rate Throughout Purchase Cycle
|
|
|
|
If this is checked, ERPNext will stop you if you change the Item's price in a Purchase Invoice or Purchase Receipt created based on a Purchase Order, i.e. it will maintain the same price throughout the purchase cycle. If there is a requirement where you need the Item's price to change, you should uncheck this option.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Purchase Order Required
|
|
|
|
If this option is configured "Yes", ERPNext will prevent you from creating a Purchase Invoice or a Purchase Receipt without first creating a Purchase Order.
|
|
|
|
### 6. Purchase Receipt Required
|
|
|
|
If this option is configured "Yes", ERPNext will prevent you from creating a Purchase Invoice without first creating a Purchase Receipt.
