When part of the products in the purchase order are stocked, with SHOPLINE's "Continue Purchase Order" feature, merchants can use it to continue receiving and placing products in storage.
In this article, you'll find:
1. Create continue purchase order
Step 1
In the SHOPLINE Admin, go to [Inventory Management] > [Purchase Order]. Click on the purchase order that has a "Completed" order status and a "Partial arrival" arrival status.
Step 2
Click the Continue Purchase button.
Step 3
Select a staff responsible for the action (mandatory) and scheduled arrival date (optional). Click Add to save.
The system will create a new continue purchase order with a list of products yet to be stocked. Merchants can resume receiving and putting products in storage. On the page of the continue purchase order, merchants can find the order numbers of the original and continue purchase orders. Click on the numbers to view the order details.
*Notes:
- When the new continue purchase order turns into an order that is partially arrived, staff can continue receiving products.
- One "partial arrived" continue purchase order can receive products once only. The "Received Products" button will disappear when the order has been used for receiving products.
