# Procurement

> Manage stock, purchasing, and inventory across your warehouse, central kitchen, and outlets.

The Procurement module is how your team buys, moves, counts, and values stock —
from raising a requisition through receiving goods and reconciling a count. It
spans your **warehouse**, **central kitchen**, and **outlets**, and keeps a live,
costed picture of what you have everywhere.

<Note>
  New to the terminology? Start with the [Glossary](/procurement/glossary) — it
  defines every term used across the module (PR, PO, GRN, WMA, par level, and more).

## How stock flows

1. An outlet raises a **Purchase Request (PR)** for what it needs.
2. An approved PR becomes a **Purchase Order (PO)** to a vendor.
3. Goods arrive and are received with a **Goods Received Note (GRN)** — posting
   the GRN updates stock balances using **weighted moving average** costing.
4. Stock moves between locations via **transfers**, and is corrected with
   **adjustments** (including each location's **opening balance**).
5. A **stock take** periodically reconciles the counted stock against the system,
   and **wastage** records anything written off.

Every document is tenant-scoped, gets an auto-minted document number, and moves
through a defined lifecycle — all detailed in the [Glossary](/procurement/glossary).
