Closing purchases

Manually close purchases or set rules to automatically close them once the goods or services have been fully delivered.

Updated over a month ago

Once the delivery of items or services is confirmed, a purchase can be automatically closed by the system or manually closed by a Payhawk accountant or administrator.

Auto-closing purchases

To enable the automatic closure of purchases, you must enable the feature in the Settings app. The default auto-close option triggers when the linked invoices have been fully paid meaning that the following conditions are met:

  • The status of the received quantity is FULL.

  • The status of the invoiced amount is MATCHED.

When enabled, the auto-close option will apply whether the invoiced amount is settled over a bank transfer or marked as paid manually.

If an expense is marked as unpaid or a bank transfer is reversed after settlement, the purchase cannot be reopened.

To enable the auto-close option for purchases:

  1. In the Payhawk web portal, go to the Settings > Purchases > Rules tab.

  2. From the Auto-closing drop-down menu, select the Linked invoice is paid option.

  3. Click on Save.

Closing purchases manually

To manually close the purchase:

  1. Go to Purchases and select the desired purchase.

  2. From its three-dot menu, select Close.

  3. In the dialog that opens, click on Confirm.
