Create PO

On the Inventory > Purchase Orders page, click generate and create purchase order. Fill out the creation form and select one of the integrated garment providers. This example will use SanMar.

Submission Warnings

Mouse over the yellow warning icon on API Order button to review the blockers for submission. Some issues do not prevent submission. For example, the $200 shipping threshold warning does not prevent submissions.

Another warning is shown in the PO items table if the Garment Provider SKU is not found for this garment. This can be missing if the item is not available at the supplier or if the mapping is incomplete. This warning will also appear with the other blockers on the API Order button. Reach out to a Turbine Admin if an item is missing a Garment Provider SKU, and it is provided by the garment provider.

Inventory Levels Check

To view inventory levels, click the Check Inventory Levels button. This will show the inventory levels at each warehouse for the provider as well as if there is enough stock to fulfill the items in the PO. Inventory checks occur every 2 hours. Low inventory levels will be included as a warning but will not block users from submitting the PO.

Shipping Information

To input the shipping information return to the Purchase Order page and click Edit Shipping Info button. Select provider, method, tolerance, and various other options as needed.

Submitting the PO

Now that the inventory levels are verified and shipping information is entered, the API Order button should be active and available. Click and confirm the submission. The Purchase Order will move to ordered if the submission is successful.
