Business value

Catalog of items procurable from vendors — the procurement-side counterpart to your sales catalog. Often linked to commodities (for stock) and items (for resale).

Who uses it: Procurement, finance
Key benefit: Standardises what you buy, from whom, and at what price — the foundation of category management.

Typical use cases:

Centralised "approved supplier" catalog
Per-vendor pricing comparison

At a glance

Accessing this module

From the admin sidebar, navigate to Purchase Items, or open the URL directly:

/admin/purchase/items

List view

The list view shows existing purchase items records. Use it to search, filter, sort, and bulk-act on items.

Common actions

View existing records — open Purchase Items from the sidebar to see the list view.
Search and filter — use the search box and column filters to find records.
Create a new record — click the Add / New button (or follow the "Create" URL above) and fill in the required fields.
Edit a record — click a row to open the detail view, then use the edit action.
Delete a record — use the row's delete action; deletion may be soft or hard depending on the module.
Bulk operations — select multiple rows via the checkboxes and apply a bulk action from the toolbar (export, delete, status change, etc., where supported).

Note

Purchase Items are distinct from Commodities (warehouse stock) and Sales Items (revenue catalog) — they represent what you buy, not what you hold or sell. Keep the three linked where applicable so RFQs, stock movements, and invoices reference the same underlying product.

Tip

Build an "approved supplier catalog" in Purchase Items — restrict buyers to cataloged items on POs so off-catalog spend is flagged at creation rather than discovered at audit.
