Creating a Purchase Order (ASN alternative)

CSV Upload (recommended)

A CSV example directly from Helm can be downloaded from the Import/Export Purchase Order page accessed through Imports/Export->Purchase Orders

This consists of the following (but may alter, so I recommend checking the CSV download from Helm on occasion).

Name	Description	Expected Value
*Purchase Order ID	A Unique ID for the Purchase Order
*Supplier Email	The email address of the supplier (can be own email)
*Location ID	The location this item will be stocked to
Expected Delivery Date	When it should be getting to the warehouse
*Product SKU	The SKU for the product on this line	PDT-123, etc
*Product Quantity	The amount of this product getting delivered	120
Product Name	The name of the product	Needed?
Product Line Total Discount		0
Product Expected Delivery Date		?
PO Notes
Payment Currency		GBP, etc
Product Notes
Product Delivered Quantity
Product Unit Price
Custom Fields	Any custom field data for the product(s)

Manual Creation

From the sidebar go to Purchasing->Purchase Orders
Press the Create Purchase Order button
Select Create Manual PO
Add a PO Number
Select your supplier from dropdown (can be yourself)
Suppliers can be created on the Contacts page if needed
Set warehouse to Warehouse
Add an expected delivery date.
This will load up a full Purchase Order page that should be fairly simple to understand
There may be no delivery address, but as it's coming to the warehouse you will want to set the details to:
Units 13-17 Riverside Industrial Park
Moody Lane
Grimsby
North Lincolnshire
DN31 2AN
Click Add Inventory
Select the relevant item that is getting sent to the warehouse
Set the quantity to the amount that is getting delivered
Click Create

Final Part

Once the PO is added and looks good/has been sent wherever it needs to be sent this needs to be set as Submitted.

To do so, select the dropdown at the top-right and choose Submitted.
