What is a Shop Supply?¶
A Shop Supply is how the shop tracks any purchase made with company money. It's our "paid out" log — every dollar that leaves the shop for something other than a customer's repair gets recorded here.
A few examples of when you'd enter one:
- Picking up toilet paper for the customer bathroom (Cleaning Supplies)
- Buying safety glasses for the crew (Safety Equipment)
- Grabbing pens or a new stapler for the front counter (Office Supplies)
If the purchase is for a customer's vehicle, that belongs on the Repair Order. If it's stock to resell, that goes through an Inventory Purchase Order. Everything else operational lives here.
