Purchase Order Details Page

Overview

Each Purchase Order in Sellercloud has its own PO Details page where you can access and update all PO-related information and settings. In this article, you will learn about all the available options on that page. This includes the panels with PO information that are always visible, as well as the Actions you can perform on your POs and all the Toolbox tabs with additional data and settings.

You can view and manage different data associated with each product on its PO Details page. There are a few ways to access this page:

PO Notes

You can use the PO Details page to view and post any PO-related notes. PO notes are helpful for better internal communication and collaboration among team members. For example, one way to use notes is to document changes and inform others - this way, they won’t have to check the Change Log.

To view and post PO notes:

Click the Notes button on the top right.
Optionally, click the eye icon to Show or Hide System Notes. Sometimes, Sellercloud may post system notes to inform about product changes. However, the best way to track changes is the Change Log (accessible from the Toolbox) because all changes are recorded there.
Select the Note Type - Purchase Note or Vendor Note to view different notes.
To post a new note, type it below and click the post button.

You can also add PO Item notes for specific items within the PO. You can add them:

For one PO at a time by clicking Toolbox and selecting Items on the PO Details page.
In bulk by going to Purchasing > Tools > Import Purchase Info > Import Purchase Orders.
