adding multiple items to purchase orders at one time

[grandstrandpool]

I'm requesting an easier way to add to purchase orders. can you consider making a option in the item library under the actions menu to add multiple items to a purchase order. some of my manufacturers have minimums so i have to wait to reorder. and its very time consuming adding one product at a time to the purchase order.

Hi @grandstrandpool, thanks for posting on the Community 🙂.

You are already able to add/select multiple items when you create a purchase order on the Dashboard or the Retail app : 

            

Are you having some issues selecting multiple items, or are you looking at streamlining the process further by adding a button directly on the Item Library page ?

I have the same problem, I have services that has add on's in the variables, the person can only choose one item - not multiple. It would be great if they can choose multiple add-ons in that one time instead of having to go out then re-select the item and then choose the other add-on.

Hi @Skincityspa , thanks for posting.
 

A purchase order is a legal document created and sent by a seller to their supplier, and is a feature available with a Square for Retail subscription.

It sounds like you have a different inquiry about Square for Appointments, and how can your customers select multiple add-ons when booking an appointment ?

When you have used the filter to find the 'Low stock Items' or those 'Out of Stock' then select the 3 dots to the side of that item it is very time consuming. I have see I need maybe 10 items in that category, but I'm having to select each on individually to had it to the Purchase order. Love the filtering option but a quicker way to send them to the PO would be great. If I select them all, then Actions - Add to PO. Thanks

Thanks for sharing more details about your business needs @Albright ! If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest filing a feature request on our Ideate page.

I agree. A simple select and 'add all to PO' would be great!

Thanks
