ERPNext Purchase
What is Buying Settings?
- Buying Settings
- Buying Settings in ERPNext configure system-wide defaults for the purchasing module, including purchase UOM behaviour, supplier naming, and PO amendment rules.
Key Buying Settings
Go to Buying → Buying Settings. Key settings: "Purchase Order Required Before Purchase Invoice" (enforces 3-way match), "Purchase Receipt Required Before Purchase Invoice" (enforces goods receipt), supplier naming series, default UOM, and automatic Material Request creation on low stock.
Amendment and Approval Settings
Enable "PO Can Be Submitted Without Items" for service POs. Configure "Material Request Approval" workflow here. Set the "Purchase Amount Limit" per user role to enforce financial approval authority for high-value purchases.
