Your purchasing workspace.
Enter your name and email. We will email a private download link for the empty Standard file and Read Me. The link expires seven days after your request. No automatic marketing subscription.
Start with your business.
- Keep the original. Unzip the download and back up the empty .fmp12 file. Open it in FileMaker Pro 26 on macOS.
- Set your business details. Review Settings, workspace and print branding, currency, precision and document numbering before issuing orders.
- Explore the examples. In Help, choose Explore / leave samples to open fictional examples. Repeated visits reuse the same collection. Both downloads start empty; the website screenshots show these optional examples.
- Return to your workspace. Leave sample mode to return to your own records. If you want to remove the examples, back up first and use Help’s guarded sample-removal action. Linked records can prevent removal. This is not a delete-all command.
- Prepare an order. Add a supplier and products, prepare a draft purchase order and check its quantities, prices and expected date before issuing it.
- Record what arrived. Open the order and record a delivery. Check received and remaining quantities, then review a saved receiving-summary PDF. Export does not send the document.
Requirements & scope.
Requires FileMaker Pro, sold separately. Reviewed with FileMaker Pro 26 on macOS. Older FileMaker versions, Windows, FileMaker Go, WebDirect, hosting and multi-user use have not been validated for this release.
One configured currency. Merchandise totals exclude tax, freight and discounts. Purchase Desk does not process payments, update stock on hand, manage physical returns, convert currencies or automatically email suppliers. History records workflow events; it is not a tamper-proof compliance log.
The styles and icons are embedded in each solution. No separate theme installation is needed.
Use it. Make it yours.
Personal and internal-business use and customization are permitted. Resale or redistribution is not permitted. Support is best effort, without guaranteed response times or future updates. FileMaker licensing, hosting, implementation, migration and training are separate.
Premium includes the styled Purchase Desk solution, not a separate Jade Meridian theme license. It is a new empty file. Purchasing Premium does not transfer Standard records or merge customizations.
Before changing a live workspace, discuss migration separately and keep using your existing file until a migrated copy is accepted.
