Quick answer
A purchase order is the starting point for bringing new supplier stock into LaSyncro.
The core warehouse flow begins with products from your connected Shopify catalog:
Shopify catalog → Purchase Order → Receive → Stow → Pick → Pack → Ship
Create the PO first, link the products you are ordering, then advance the PO through its inbound statuses until the shipment is ready to receive.
Create a new purchase order
Open the Suppliers area and choose New Purchase Order.
To create the PO, you need:
- a supplier;
- at least one product line;
- a quantity of at least 1 for every line.
You can also add delivery information, notes, cost information, or other optional PO details where available.
Choose a supplier
Select an existing active supplier.
If the supplier does not exist yet, choose Add new supplier directly from the PO workflow.
A new supplier requires a name. Additional supplier details such as contact information, minimum order quantity, and lead time can also be recorded.
Add the products being ordered
Each PO line must be linked to a product variant from your connected Shopify catalog.
Search for the product or variant and select the correct result.
Then enter the quantity you are ordering.
You can add multiple product lines to the same purchase order.
Create the PO
When the required information is complete, create the purchase order.
A new purchase order begins in Draft status.
Its received quantity starts at zero because no physical stock has been received yet.
What happens next
Creating a PO does not add inventory to the warehouse.
The PO must progress through the inbound workflow until the shipment is marked Arrived.
From there, you can start the receiving workflow and record what was actually received.
Only accepted stock from receiving becomes warehouse inventory.
Who can manage purchase orders
Purchase-order and supplier management is intended for owners and admins.
Operators do not manage suppliers or purchase orders.
