Dashboard number cards
Purchase Orders Count
Number of submitted Purchase Orders this quarter, excluding subcontracting orders.
In detail
This card counts submitted Purchase Orders dated in the current quarter, excluding subcontracting orders, so it measures how often you commit to buying. Two orders to Market mind investment group show 2. Drafts do not count until submitted, and a cancelled order drops out. The order is a promise, not a cost: the ledger moves only when the Purchase Receipt or the Purchase Invoice is submitted. Many small orders in a quarter can mean missed bulk discounts; none at all may mean staff are buying without orders.
Formula
Purchase Orders Count = Count of Purchase Order where docstatus = 1, is_subcontracted = 0, transaction_date in this quarter
