When reconciling purchase orders in Supply'd, users can easily verify payments, track order statuses & resolve discrepancies, streamlining the reconciliation process for better financial clarity.
Reconciling Purchase Orders in Supply’d helps you ensure that what was ordered matches what was received and invoiced. This process allows you to confirm quantities, costs, and supplier details, making it easier to identify discrepancies, track deliveries, and maintain accurate inventory and financial records.
This document will guide you through reconciling your purchase orders, including:
When you select Expenses from the main menu, the Expenses page will open. At the top, you'll see five tabs - Reconcile, Invoice Files, Payments, Completed and Statements.
Reconcile
The Reconcile tab lists purchase orders not yet reconciled.
A dot next to the order status - - indicates that the invoice has been uploaded and scanned, or matched by Supply'd Intelligence, for that order.
Invoice Files
The Invoice Files tabdisplays a list of files that have been uploaded.
Invoice files will have colour-coded statuses beside them:
- The invoice has been matched to the order, but not yet reconciled.
- The invoice has matched, the order completed and reconciled.
- The invoice hasn’t been matched to an order.
An envelope next to the invoice file - - indicates that the invoice was matched via the Invoice Inbox (seeManaging Suppliers).
If you remove files from a purchase order while reconciling, they’ll go back to Invoice Files instead of being deleted. You can remove invoices from Invoice Files later if they’re duplicates or no longer needed.
Payments
The Payments tab displays purchase orders that have been reconciled but still have pending payments scheduled for suppliers.
Completed
The Completed tab lists purchase orders that have been paid and reconciled.
Statements
The Statements tab lists any statements that have been uploaded to Supply'd.

To reconcile a purchase order, select it from the list. The purchase order details will open.
2
Check Order Details
Check the Purchase Order details.

Upload Invoice
If a photo invoice was uploaded when the purchase order was received, or if the supplier sent the invoice to the Invoice Inbox, Supply'd will automatically attempt to match it to the order.
If no invoice was matched, you can upload it on this page. In the top right, you will see . Click this to upload the invoice for this order.
The Attach File form will open.
Click on to select the file to upload. The file must be in PDF format.
Once the file is uploaded, click to upload the invoice to Supply'd.
The invoice will appear next to the order details.
On the reconcile screen, you may see an button. This button only appears if the supplier has unmatched invoices in the system.
Clicking this button will open the Attach Invoice page, allowing you to select an invoice and attach it to the purchase order.

Check for Discrepancies
Supply'd will scan the invoice to identify discrepancies with the order. During this process, "PROCESSING" will appear with a yellow background at the top of the invoice.
Once Supply'd has finished scanning the invoice, you will be asked to refresh the page. Click where it says "Click here to refresh".
"SCANNED" will appear across the top of the invoice with a blue background.
Please note that this process may not be 100% accurate and scanning errors may occur, so it's important to manually verify as well.
In the example provided below, the quantities received align with the invoice, indicated by the '=' symbol with a blue background. All prices match except for one discrepancy.
In our example, Supply'd have picked up a discrepancy in the price of the Pink Unicorns. The purchase order says they are $1.25 each while the invoice has them at $1.35, an increase of 8%. At this price, the margin has decreased from 31% to 26%, falling below our preferred margin of 30%, as highlighted with a yellow background.
Hovering over the Margin field will show a pop-up with all the margins for the various sales channels.
If this is a price increase, you can update the product’s buy price by ticking the Update Product Buy Prices box at the bottom left. You can also use the Update Batch Cost of Goods feature to update costings for specific batches.
If any items on the scanned invoice haven’t been matched to items on the purchase order, an orange box will appear at the bottom of the items list stating:
“There are _ items not yet matched to an item on the purchase order.”
This helps ensure no items are missed before finalising reconciliation.

Check Shipping & Credit Card Details
Check that the shipping and credit card details are correct and update if necessary.
If a product in your order has a price increase, you can update its buy price in Supply’d by selecting the Update Product Buy Prices checkbox at the bottom left.
If you only need to adjust costs for certain batches, use the Update Batch Cost of Goods feature instead. This lets you update pricing at the batch level without changing the overall product buy price.
Update Product Buy Prices
This option automatically updates the default buy price of a product based on the actual price paid on a recent invoice. It keeps your product costs current without you needing to track every change manually.
Update Batch Cost of Goods
This updates the cost of goods for specific batches using the invoice data, ensuring your batch-level costing is accurate. That means your profit margins, stock valuation, and reporting are all based on real, up-to-date costs.
These features save time and reduce errors by automatically updating costs from supplier invoices. It’s ideal for managing large inventories, tight margins, or changing supplier prices - helping you make smarter decisions with less manual work.

Schedule Payment
Once you have checked the details and completed any changes required, click to schedule payment for the invoice. You will be asked to confirm.
The order will be moved from the Reconcile tab to the Payments tab.

Add Price Change
Opens The Add Price Change form where you can update the product prices across selected sales channels. You can also choose schedule when the change takes effect.
If this is an ingredient or product that is used as part of a recipe in other products, this will allow you to view those products. You can then ascertain whether or not the price change will in turn affect the price of the other products.
In our example, the Pink Unicorns are used in a 3 pack of unicorns. The price for these would need to increase for us to maintain our preferred margins.
If this ingredient is used in small quantities within a recipe, such as sugar or salt, the resulting price difference may be negligible, making a price increase unnecessary.
Additional Options for the Order
Clicking on the 3 dots at the top right of the order details, will bring up a menu:

Edit Invoice
Sort Line Items By
Choose how the line items in this expense should be arranged to make reconciliation easier.
Issue Date
Select the date hte invoice was issued.
Price Calculation Method
Select the method to use for this invoice for the line item unit price.
Sometimes invoices don’t show discounts in the unit price correctly. In those cases, when reconciling, you can change the Price Calculation Method to Line Amount & Quantity to calculate the unit price.
Unit Price: Use the unit price scanned on the invoice by Supply'd Intelligence. This is the default.
Line Amount & Quantity: Use the line amount divided by the quantity. Typically used for when unit prices do not include line discounts.
Prices are Tax Inclusive?
Select whether prices in the scanned invoice are tax-inclusive. Supply'd assumes they are exclusive when scanning. Changing this setting will adjust prices based on your product settings.
Discount
No Discount: This option means that no discount will be applied to the invoice total.
Fixed Amount: When this is selected an additional field will appear - Fixed Amount - allowing you to apply a set monetary value off the total (eg. $10 off).
Percentage: When this is selected an additional field will appear - Percentage - allowing you to apply a discount as a percentage of the total (eg. 10% off).
Save Settings to Supplier
This option lets you apply the current invoice settings as the default for that supplier, ensuring consistency and saving time on future invoices.

This option re-runs the invoice analysis to re-scan and re-match items. This is useful if changes were made to the purchase order or if the invoice was updated or corrected.
Mark As
Unpaid or Paid
Will mark the order as either "Paid" or "Unpaid".
When you manually mark a Purchase Order (PO) as Paid, the associated expense status is automatically updated to as well and vice versa.
This is especially helpful for prepaid invoices, as it moves the expense directly to the Completed tab instead of the Payments tab, reducing the risk of double payments. If you mark either one as Unpaid, the status will automatically sync back to both records.
Awaiting Credit
Flags the reconciliation as waiting on a supplier credit, such as when items are missing, damaged, or incorrectly invoiced. This helps track outstanding credits before completing reconciliation.
You will be asked to confirm.
The status will change to .
Updating the status here will also update the PO status in Purchases.
Credit Received
If an order is marked as Awaiting Credit, the option will change to Credit Received.
Once the credit has been received, select Credit Received. You will be asked to confirm. The status will revert back to or .
Selecting Credit Received will also update the PO status in Purchases.
Completed
Will mark the order as "Completed".
Credit Received
This option will show if there is a mismatch between what you were invoiced and what you actually received.
You will be asked to confirm
Allows you balance your books by marking that a supplier gave you a discount or refund for missing or damaged items, or overcharged items, ensuring your final payment matches the adjusted invoice total.
Refresh
Will refresh the page, much the same as clicking "Click here to refresh" above.
