How stock gets into AIM: purchase orders, the vendors you buy from, returns back to vendors, and the pages for sourcing specific pairs customers want.

## In this section

* [Purchase Orders](/buying/purchase-orders) — A purchase order is stock you have coming in — and receiving it is what actually adds those pairs to your inventory.
* [Create Purchase Order](/buying/create-purchase-order) — This is where you write down a batch of stock you bought — who you bought it from, what you got, and what you paid — so you can receive it into inventory later.
* [Vendors](/buying/vendors) — Keep an address book of the suppliers you buy stock from, so you can pick them on purchase orders and track who you sourced from.
* [Vendor Returns](/buying/vendor-returns) — Send stock back to the supplier you bought it from and track the credit you expect to get back.
* [Special Orders](/buying/special-orders) — Track a one-off pair you're sourcing for a specific customer — from their request, to ordering it in, to handing it over.
* [Want to Buy](/buying/want-to-buy) — Keep a wishlist of sizes you're trying to source, with the most you'd pay, and share it with your network so partners can offer you stock.
