Processing Your First Purchase

Generally, a purchase journey will begin with your request for quotation to a supplier. Upon the request, you'll receive a quotation based on the your request. Once you are happy or satisfied with the costing, you are then required to issue a purchase order. Once you've received the invoice from your supplier, you can finally prepare your bill and follow up with the payment after. 

Note: There may be some slight difference in procedure for some businesses.

Now that you've grasp the process flow, the following section will show you how easy it is to prepare and send the various documents to your customer on Financio:
