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
When making purchase orders oftentimes the quantity of items on the order makes it very hard manually create the order. Not now with the purchase order item importer.
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.
