Writing Off Expired Products in the "Expiring Inventory" Report

We continue improving inventory management tools in Orderry. Now you can create write-offs directly from the expired products report without going to other sections of the system or adding products manually.

To quickly write off expired products, complete a few simple steps:

1. Generate the Expiring inventory report on the Reports > Inventory page.

For convenience, we recommend filtering the report by the "Expired" status right away. Also, make sure to select one warehouse for the correct write-off, because you cannot write off products from several warehouses in one document.

2. Click the Actions button and select Write-off.

All expired stock for each item, as well as the selected warehouse, will be automatically added to the write-off document. If needed, edit the quantity and complete the write-off by clicking the "Write-off" button.

This way, the ability to write off expired products directly in the "Expiring inventory" report will help you:

  • write off expired products faster;

  • reduce the number of manual operations;

  • avoid errors when transferring data;

  • keep inventory stock up to date.

Import Products into a Purchase Order

Adding products to a Purchase Order is now faster and easier. A new Import button on the Products tab lets you add items directly from an Excel or CSV file.

This update is especially useful for businesses that regularly receive large product lists from suppliers, such as retail stores, service centres, auto repair shops, online stores, multi-location businesses, and companies with frequent purchasing.

If your supplier sends a file with parts, accessories, or materials, there's no need to enter each item manually. Simply import the file, review the results, and continue working with your Purchase Order.

The import process uses the familiar field-mapping workflow. Upload your file, match the columns to the corresponding Orderry fields, and start the import.

During import, Orderry can:

  • find an existing product and add it to the document;

  • create a new product if it doesn't yet exist in the system;

  • update an existing row in the document if the product has already been added.

If a product has already been partially posted, the import will not let you reduce the ordered quantity below the quantity that has actually been posted. This preserves the integrity of partial posting and prevents inconsistencies in the current document status.

Note: To create new products during import, the employee must have permission to create products in Orderry.

Improved Financial Summary in Purchase Orders

We've also improved how financial information is displayed in Purchase Orders.

The Payments section now provides a clearer breakdown of the order totals, including:

  • Subtotal (excluding taxes)

  • Total tax

  • Tota amount (including taxes)

  • Amount paid

  • Balance due

  • Overpayment (when payments exceed the Purchase Order total)

These values are updated automatically whenever a payment is recorded or when product prices or quantities change. This provides an accurate and up-to-date view of your financial settlement with the supplier for every Purchase Order.
