A new purchase order for open required quantities can be created directly in the overview (Ordering consumables without event reference?).

1. Left-click Unmet only on the toolbar of the main window to show only the required quantities for which there is no purchase yet. Unmet required quantities are highlighted in red.
2. Select a Supplier from the list on the right. New input-enabled columns will appear in the list of required items, and only the items that the selected supplier can deliver will be shown.
3. Enter the Amount (packaging units) or Quantity (content unit) of the item you wish to order from the selected supplier in the corresponding column. Click on   Apply values to apply the value of the open quantity/number as the order quantity.
   Note: As long as no supplier has been selected, the columns Quantity and Amount will not show.
4. If the ordered quantity corresponds exactly to the requirement, the column Open is coloured white. If there is a shortfall, the column remains red; if there is a surplus, it is coloured green.
5. Select  Order > New >   Order in the toolbar to create a completely new order (Open a new purchase or Create a new delivery).
6. Select  Order >  Purchase >   Order if you want to add a new delivery to an existing purchase.
