Item	Quantity	Unit cost	Amount
Item 1	10	250	2500
Item 2	23	120	2760
Item 3	15	380	5700
Total:	10960

When you release the purchase receipt, the system creates the following transactions.

In the Purchase invoices (AP301000) window, select Actions - Create purchase invoice.

When you receive and enter the purchase invoice for the initial quantities of the items, you enter the following information.

Item	Quantity	Unit cost	Amount
Item 1	10	450	4500
Item 2	23	120	2760
Item 3	15	180	2700
Total:	9960

When you release the purchase invoice, the system creates the following transactions.
