Purchasing & Suppliers
Goods in, money out, stock and books updated in the same movement.
Everything that arrives at the back door goes through purchasing. Record a purchase order and receive the goods, and stock rises — with batch and expiry data where you track it. Send goods back with a purchase return, and both stock and the supplier balance adjust.
Supplier payments record what you actually paid and against which purchases, and payments made in cash from an open till are reflected in that shift's drawer, so the evening count still balances. Non-stock spending — rent, utilities, cleaning — is tracked as expenses under categories you define, and expenses feed the profit and loss statement on the accounting plans.
The result is a supplier book where the balance means something: what you ordered, what arrived, what went back, and what you still owe.

Use Cases
The weekly delivery
Receive the purchase against the order, and the shelf quantities are right before the boxes are unpacked.
A damaged shipment
A purchase return sends the goods back, drops the stock and reduces what you owe — in one step, not three.
Paying the driver in cash
The supplier payment comes out of the open till and is accounted for in that shift, so nobody has to remember it at closing time.
