When you purchase an inventory item, Wafeq automatically increases the quantity on hand and the inventory value of the item in the warehouse you select to receive the inventory.
Receiving stock through purchase bills
To add quantity for a tracked item using a purchase bill, go to Purchases from the main menu, then select Bills, and click Record to enter the details.
Once you select the item, you’ll notice that its default fields—like the purchase price, account, and tax—are automatically filled based on the item information, and you can adjust them if needed.
When you're done, click Save to record the bill and update your inventory.
When you add a tracked item to a purchase bill, Wafeq requires you to select the warehouse where the item will be stored.
Once the bill is saved, the quantity is automatically added to that warehouse, and the inventory account linked to it is increased accordingly.
The account shown in the bill is the warehouse account. This is where the purchased quantity will be tracked, which ensures the item’s value is recorded as an asset until it’s sold, at which point it moves automatically to COGS.

To check the quantity added as a result of the bill, go to the Items list under the inventory in the main menu.
You’ll find that the Qty on hand field has been updated automatically to include the quantity you just purchased.
Only “tracked” items will update the inventory quantity when the bill/invoice is saved. If the product is “not tracked”, the quantity will not be reflected in inventory, even though it's saved in the bill.
