The title of this post has been edited from the original: Simplifying Purchase Orders Suggestion
Hi there- this is my #1 thing I would love to see in Square fix/change:
If there is a way to do this I'm not aware of- please educate me.
I would like to create Purchase Orders directly from a particular Vendor's list of items. Our company has 15 locations, 100's of Vendors, and 10's of thousands of items- many of which have similar names but come from different companies.
Hunting and pecking through the search bar to find the correct item to plug into a PO is astronomically time consuming (and annoying) when you are sifting through such a large data base. The search often won't show you something if you don't type it in exactly the way it is listed.
A PO is always for one specific company- why is it that we just we cant just create a PO from the page dedicated to that supplier?
Example for the fix:
*Click on the Vendor you want
*Click on their Item List
*A button is available for "Create Purchase Order for Vendor"
*Click that and a line of boxes appear next to each item so you can run down the line and check off what you need.
*Draft is created
*Edit the Draft to reflect the # of each Item you need.
*voila- your PO is completed in a tiny fraction of the time.
