“confirming and validating a Purchase Order alone does not update the quantity on hand. The PO only creates a receipt (incoming shipment) in the Inventory module. Quantity on hand only updates when that receipt is validated.”

“The "Purchased" smart button you're seeing shows the quantity that has been ordered, not received. Quantity on hand reflects only physically received and validated stock.”
