The next step in managing a Purchase that has been created is to create a Purchase Invoice. The process of creating a Purchase can be done by the roles of Super Admin, Finance Admin, and Finance User. Here are the steps.

  1. Go to the Purchasing menu.
  2. Then click “Create purchase”, and select "Direct invoice input".
  3. On this page, fill in the data consisting of vendor, transaction creation date, Organization, Reference no. (optional), transaction expiration date, Requester, Warehouse, Term of payment, and Currency. You can also toggle ‘Price includes tax’ if the listed price already includes tax.

     

    When selecting the Organization, the Requester options will adjust according to the Workflow of the selected Organization. For example, if you select HRD in the Organization column, the Requester options for that Purchase will adjust to the Workflow of the Organization with the HRD category that was previously created.

  4. Next, specify the Product, Description (optional), Qty, Unit, Unit price, VAT, WHT, Amount, Note (optional), and Attachment.


     

    - If you have previously done mapping of the linked products, the selected vendor will automatically display its product list in the Product table. Learn about how to do product mapping here.


    - The Amount column is automatically calculated from the quantity in the Qty (Pcs) column multiplied by the Unit Price.
    - VAT (Value Added Tax) is a levy or tax imposed at every stage of production or distribution of goods or PPN. In this case, you can specify VAT for each Amount in the Product.
    - WHT (Withholding Tax) is a tax collection system carried out by a third party. Here you can specify WHT for each Amount in the Product.
    - Below is an example of automatic calculation of VAT and WHT.
    - An example of WHT is PPh.
    - Additionally, you can activate the following Withholding toggle to reduce the total amount of the Purchase.
    - In this case, there are 2 categories of total Purchase amount calculation if you activate the Withholding toggle, which are:
    1. Withholding calculation category in the form of Rupiah.
    2. Withholding calculation category in the form of a percentage.
    - The Withholding amount must be less than the total.

  5. Once all data has been filled in, click “Submit for review”.
  6. Your Purchase invoice data will then appear on the next page with the status Awaiting review.
