Vendors, purchase orders, and receiving stock

Retail's Inventory tab is where stock comes in from your suppliers. The flow is Vendors → Purchase Orders → Receiving, and receiving is what actually raises your on-hand counts.

Step 1 — Add a vendor:
1. Go to Retail → Inventory → Vendors
2. Click "+ New vendor"
3. Enter the supplier's name (required), plus optional contact, email, phone, payment terms (e.g. "Net 30"), and lead-time days
4. Save

Step 2 — Raise a purchase order:
1. Go to Retail → Inventory → Purchase Orders
2. Click "+ New PO" and pick the vendor
3. Search products by name or SKU to add lines; set the order quantity and unit cost for each (the cost defaults to the product's saved cost)
4. Click "Save & send" to mark it sent, or "Save draft" to keep editing

Step 3 — Receive the goods when they arrive:
1. Open the sent (or partially-received) PO
2. Click "Receive"
3. Enter how many of each line actually showed up — the outstanding quantity is pre-filled, and partial receipts are fine
4. Click "Confirm receipt"

Receiving immediately increments each product's stock. A PO becomes "Partial" until every line is fully received, then flips to "Received". You can receive the same PO multiple times as shipments trickle in — Turtini only ever adds the new quantity, never double-counts.

If you'd rather not build the PO by hand, ask Wally to create a draft purchase order for a vendor and set of products, then receive it from the Inventory tab.
