Step 1

In this video, we'll walk through how to create a purchase order. To begin, navigate to Stock Management

Step 2

Click on purchase order.


Create a New Purchase Order


Step 3

To begin, click Create PO in the upper right corner of the screen.

Step 4

Next, select the relevant store if there are multiple on your account.

Step 5

To locate the correct Distributor, either type within the text field or use the dropdown box to locate.

Step 6

Select the Distributor for the Purchase Order.

Step 7

Select the ordered by user. The User by Default is the user signed into Back Office.

Step 8

Select the Sales Rep.

Step 9

You can change the date here, if necessary. Once all required information is complete, click Start Order.

Step 10

You'll now be taken to the purchase order edit screen where you can begin adding line items. All items for the selected distributor will automatically show up on this page. Just like in the Product List page, you can save views with specific filters and column arrangements for ease of ordering.

Step 11

Search for items on your view, input the unit, whether case or unit, and quantity you would like to purchase and the cost will be automatically calculated based on historical cost data.

Step 12

Items with a quantity greater than zero will sort to the top of the view to give a clear view of what you've added to the order.

Step 13

To add items that do not already appear in your view, click add items.

Step 14

From here, you will be given the option to toggle on whether you want to search products from all distributors, as well as inactive products. If the item doesn't exist, you can also create a new item from this window.

Step 15

For each product, enter the unit and quantity. Again, cost will automatically be calculated here based on historical cost data.

Step 16

Click on "Add to order" to finalize.

Step 17

If you need to locate an item that’s already been added to the order, use the Search field.

Step 18

Once all products are added, click Finish Draft in the top right corner
