Purchase orders now create transfers to move inventory
Purchase orders record what you ordered from a supplier and what it cost. Transfers record inventory movement. The two are now connected. When you’re ready to receive a purchase order, it now creates a transfer.
What this means:
- Receive in admin or POS - Incoming inventory can be received from either, so it can be done wherever the shipment arrives.
- Partial deliveries - A single transfer can have multiple shipments, so shipments that arrive separately, are tracked separately. You can view what's been received and what’s outstanding.
- Linked records - Each transfer stays linked to its purchase order, so what was ordered, what arrived and what it cost, are all connected.
- CSV Import - Import purchase order line items using a CSV
- Autofill Information - Purchase orders now auto-populate with previous purchase prices or the cost per item from the product page.
