Import Purchase Orders

Using purchase order imports will make it easy to place large purchases from a vendor while keeping data integrity in-tact.

Purchase Order Import

You can easily add items to a purchase order via import. The import will also create new vendor product relationships for those products not already assigned to the vendor.
To add items in bulk to your purchase you'll need to first initiate the creation of a PO and select a vendor, at which point items for that vendor can be imported and added automatically to the PO.
