Purchase Inbound on Mobile App

The SHOPLINE POS mobile app supports the use of PDA or other handheld devices to efficiently manage purchase inbounds. This feature caters to merchants who require precise inventory management, enabling their employees to scan goods one by one to ensure accurate inventory counts.

Note: Managing purchasing processes using the mobile app is intended for quick and easy purchasing and stock-in tasks. For access to more comprehensive features, please use the Smart Inventory Management app and refer to the "Purchase Management" guide for detailed instructions.
