Ideally, we would like to create one PO in square and e-mail it to our vendor. Our suppliers are agreeable to this provided our PO shows THEIR product order numbers.
Square's purchase orders do not give me the ability to add the supplier product order numbers.
Without this ability, we have to order products using our supplier online system which utilizes their product order codes, then duplicate our work by entering it again into Square's PO feature so we can manage our inventory in Square.
A ‘supplier or vendor product code’ field on the PO would solve this duplication of work for us. In addition to this, the added ability to select which fields on the PO to send suppliers would also be helpful. For example, my supplier does not care what my internal SKU numbers are.
In my perfect world:
Issue one (1) PO to vendor with vendor product codes
We then receive inventory by scanning the product using the vendor product code
- Square searches PO's for the vendor order and pulls up PO(s)
- we click 'receive'
voila, product is received and PO is updated and we can proceed to print our internal SKU labels and manage our inventory in Square.
