Integration with Purchase Orders

Supplier Profiles work directly inside Purchase Orders. You can create or open a PO from the profile, all supplier rules and settings are applied automatically. This keeps data consistent and removes the need for manual adjustments during ordering.

MOV and Free Shipping thresholds appear inside the PO with clear visual indicators. As you change quantities, the progress updates instantly, helping ensure the order meets supplier requirements before it's finalized.
