How to: Purchase Products for a Sale

This topic applies to Microsoft Dynamics C5 2014 in Denmark.

From an open sales invoice, you can use the Create Purchase Invoice function to create a purchase invoice for a selected vendor for all lines or selected lines on the sales invoice. You can then process this purchase invoice just like you would if you had created it from a new invoice.

Note

There is no link between the created purchase invoice and the sales invoice that it was created from.

For more information about how to create sales invoices, see How to: Invoice Sales (Simplified).

To create a purchase invoice from a sales invoice

  1. On the Role Center, choose Open Sales Invoices.

  2. Open the sales invoice for which you want to purchase products.

  3. Select one or more sales invoice lines that you want to use on the purchase invoice. To use all the sales invoice lines, select either all of them or do not select any lines. You will be able to choose All Lines in step 5.

  4. On the Actions tab, in the Invoice group, choose Create Purchase Invoice.

  5. Select either All Lines or Selected Lines. Choose the OK button.

  6. In the list of vendors that appears, select the vendor who will receive the purchase invoice, and then choose the OK button.

    A purchase invoice is created that has one, more, or all the lines on the sales invoice.

  7. Proceed to process the purchase invoice, for example, by editing or adding purchase invoice lines. For more information, see How to: Record Purchases.
