Introduction

Whenever you receive new stock, you need to add the invoice to your WISK account.

If you didn’t generate the purchase order in WISK, you need to add the invoice for it manually.

Adding the Invoice

To add the invoice:

  1. Tap "Orders" on the bottom menu bar

    An arrow points to the "Orders" tab on the app home screen.
  2. Tap "Add Invoices"

    The "Add Invoices" button is highlighted on the "Orders" screen.

  3. Tap "Add manual invoice"

    The "Add manual invoice" button is highlighted.
  4. Tap the Distributor that the invoice is from

    An example distributor is highlighted, indicating that it should be tapped.

Note: If you don’t see the distributor for the invoice, tap the three dots at the top of the screen to add them. If you haven't added any distributors yet, you can learn more about it here:

Adding Invoice Details

Before you add the items on the invoice, you’ll enter the details about when and where it was received, the invoice total, and photos of each page.

  1. Tap the “Date” drop-down to select the date and time. It auto-populates with the current date and time by default. The time should reflect when the items from the invoice were unboxed and placed with your other stock

    On the "Invoice Info" screen, the "Date" drop-down has been tapped and is highlighted. You can choose the date and time the invoice items were added to the venue's stock.

    Note: You can't set an invoice date to be in the future or before a locked inventory Learn more here

  2. Under "Area", drag horizontally and tap an area to select where the items from the invoice were added

    The "Area" section is highlighted and the "Stockroom" area has been selected.

    Note: If items were put into multiple areas, select the most applicable one

    The optional section is highlighted where it shows the invoice number and the invoice total.
  4. Tap "Continue"

Invoice Photos

At this point you're prompted to take a clear photo of each page of the invoice. This creates a digital record that you can view in your account.

  1. Tap the “Scan” button to open the camera on your device

    An arrow points to the "Scan" button.

    Note: If you have already taken photos of the invoice on your device, tap "Select" instead and proceed to Step 6.

    The camera opens in the app. An onscreen prompt directs you to position the invoice within the frame.

  3. You’ll see a visual indicator when the camera detects an invoice page. Hold the camera still and it will take a picture automatically

    When the invoice is detected, it is highlighted in blue, and scans the highlighted area.

    Note: You can also tap the button on screen to take a picture. If you do, you'll need to manually set the scan area

  4. When the photo is taken, it appears as a thumbnail on the bottom left. Tap the thumbnail to review it and make sure it isn't blurry

Note: If the item isn't already assigned to a distributor, it will be assigned to the selected distributor

  • tapping "Search/Add" and tapping "Add item" or searching the online database

Full Units / Cases

Regardless of whether it is a weight, volume, or unit-based item (see "Units of Measurement"), the process for adding full units and cases is the same:

  1. After finding the item, enter the amount on the invoice by tapping the "+" button beside cases and/or individual units

    An item has been called up, and the area of the screen where you can count units is highlighted.

    The confirm button is highlighted and shows the number of items counted.

Partial Units

Sometimes, you may need to add partial units to an invoice.

It’s uncommon to receive partial volume-based items, but there are weight-based items where you’ll need to add a partial amount. For example, any produce or proteins that you purchase by the pound or kilogram.

Note: If the item's unit of measurement is "unit" or "each", you can't submit partial units.

To add a partial unit for a weight-based item:

  1. Tap “Add partial”

    An arrow points to the "Add partial" button for a weight-based item that is called up to be added to the invoice.
  2. You can enter the amount using either the “Visual” mode, or entering the weight (either manually or placing it on the scale). If selecting weight, you’ll select the unit of measurement and then either place the item on the supported Bluetooth scale, or tap “0” to enter the value manually.

    The "Weight" tab is selected, and the area where you enter the weight value and select the unit of measurement is highlighted.

    Note: If you selected a different unit of measurement than the one assigned to the item, it gets converted. For example, if the item's unit of measurement is in pounds, but you add a partial amount in grams, it's converted to pounds.

Cost

After adding the item and the amount, before tapping “Confirm”, verify that the cost of the item matches the invoice. If it matches the invoice, tap “Confirm”.

The area to enter the cost and format is highlighted.

Note: In most cases, the cost that displays for an item will be the value from the previous invoice.

Update Cost

  1. Before adjusting the cost, make sure that it is set to the correct format. Either cost per unit or cost per case

    The area to toggle between Unit and Case is underlined.

    Note: Make sure you have selected the correct cost method. If you accidentally put the cost per case as the cost per unit, you will see your inventory value increase significantly.

  2. Tap the “Cost” field and enter the updated value and tap “Done”

    An arrow points to the "Cost" field.

    Note: This value should be the list price from the distributor before taxes.
