How to create a purchase order?

ShopHub supports creating purchase orders. You can create purchase orders, track the progress and give them to suppliers for execution based on sales plan and actual sales condition, etc.

Four kinds of status of a purchase order:

  • To be received: a purchase order will enter To be received status once being successfully created
  • Partially received: part of SKU in the purchase order has been confirmed for inbound, and other SKUs are in transit.
  • Received: all SKUs are confirmed and stocked in warehouse
  • Cancelled: purchase orders will be archived with this status when they are cancelled

 

1. Create a purchase order

Step 1, go to [Purchase] > [Purchase order], click [Create a purchase order]

Step 2, select [inbound warehouse], add a supplier, then click [Add SKU], select the product SKU for purchase, click [Confirm]

  • All the SKUs are added from warehouse inventory

 

Step 3, enter the basic information of purchased products: [Unit purchase price] and [Purchase quantity], then click [Create] to complete creation of purchase order.

  • Total purchase price = unit purchase price * purchase quantity

 

2. Purchase order status flow

When the purchase order is successfully created, there will be 4 kinds of status: [To be received], [Partially received], [Received] and [Cancelled], corresponding inbound/outbound orders will be generated for you to check and track the purchase at any time.
