Quick answer
Products ordered through a LaSyncro purchase order must be linked to product variants from your connected Shopify catalog.
This connection is what allows the same product identity to continue through:
Purchase Order → Receive → Stow → Pick → Pack → Ship
Search for the Shopify product
When adding a line to a purchase order, search for the product or variant you want to order.
Select the matching Shopify-linked variant from the results.
LaSyncro stores the PO line against that product variant so the inbound stock can later be received into the correct warehouse product identity.
Enter the quantity
For each selected product, enter the number of units being ordered.
Every PO line requires a quantity of at least 1.
You can add multiple Shopify product variants to one purchase order.
Products must be linked
A PO line cannot be completed in the current workflow without a linked Shopify product variant.
If LaSyncro tells you that the line is not linked to a Shopify product:
- search for the product and select it from the product dropdown;
- if the product does not exist in Shopify yet, create it in Shopify first;
- allow the product to become available in your connected LaSyncro catalog;
- return to the PO and select it.
Do not create an unrelated manual product description as a substitute for the Shopify product.
Why the product link matters
The linked product identity connects the inbound purchase to the rest of the warehouse workflow.
When the shipment is later received, LaSyncro knows which product variant the accepted quantity belongs to.
That stock can then continue through stowing and eventually satisfy Shopify order demand through picking, packing, and shipping.
Product descriptions and SKUs
The purchase order can display product and variant information such as the product title and SKU when available.
Always select the correct variant when a Shopify product has multiple variants.
The warehouse inventory created later belongs to that specific linked variant.
