Detailed guidance about the Purchase Orders in Seller Assistant

Updated yesterday

The Purchase Orders module in Seller Assistant is a centralized workspace that lets you create, track, and manage all procurement in one place whether starting from scratch, or from a Price List Analyzer. It consolidates supplier, warehouse, and product data, reduces repetitive entry, and keeps order history structured and accessible for the whole team. You can find the Purchase Orders in your personal Seller Assistant cabinet under the "Inventory" section.

What is Purchase Orders?

  1. Centralized Purchase Orders management – Create, edit, duplicate, or delete Purchase Orders. Purchase Orders are shared across the Team.

    Note

    You cannot duplicate the Purchase Order in Draft status

  2. Flexible Purchase Orders creation:

    • From scratch – choose or create a Supplier, auto-assign a Warehouse, and add products manually or from the database.

    • From Price List Analyzer – you can select the necessary products and immediately create a Purchase Order.

    • Auto-generates PO number (PO-YYYY-MM-DD-XX), editable if needed.

  3. Smart item adding – search for products by ASIN, UPC/EAN, title, or brand. You can add them from:

    • Supplier's saved price lists

    • Your internal product database

    • Keepa API

    • Manual entry

    If an item is already in the PO, the system will simply update it instead of adding a duplicate.

  4. Cost & quantity management – the system automatically calculates unit costs, totals, taxes, and shipping. It uses the package quantity by default (or 1 if not provided), and updates all totals instantly when you make changes.

  5. Integrated Supplier & Warehouse data – your default or primary warehouse address fills in automatically, and products link to suppliers without extra steps.

  • Draft – assigned automatically to a new Purchase Order

    Note
