Purchase Order

For sending order to suppliers API, you need to create purchase order. Purchase order is made from specific customer’s order and when you are creating purchase order you are able to select what products do you want to add to the purchase order and you can also change quantity what you will order. Quantity has to be equal or less than the quantity in the original (customer’s order) from which is being this purchase order created.

CREATING PURCHASE ORDER

1. First, you have to choose one of the customer’s orders what you want to send to the supplier’s API (From what do you want to create purchase order). Then, go to the order detail and click on “SEND TO SUPPLIER” button.

2.  Now, you can see “Send to supplier” popup where you can choose to what supplier do you want to send this order. Note, that order (original customer’s) order can have multiple products from multiple suppliers but purchase order can obtain products only from one supplier. In the popup you will see as many suppliers as many suppliers the products in the order comes from. So, if there are products from two suppliers e.g., PF Concept and Makito and you want to order these items via TronAPI and purchase order from both suppliers you have to create orders, one for each supplier/

3. Fill in contact information, delivery address and select products with their prices. Then check the checkbox in the bottom to confirm selected items and amounts

If there are any products with printings (customer made a calculation) in the order you have to fill in printing parameters in the Print Data Popup. Click to “EDIT” to open the popup.

4. In the next step you can review your purchase order. After review you can send this purchase order to the supplier or cancel it.

After sending an order to supplier you will receive a response from supplier’s API. If sending was successful and all data in the order was correct you will see success message with supplier’s order code. Sometimes supplier’s API can split one order to two or more purchase orders, for example one order for items with printings and another one for items without printings. This depends on supplier’s API. If the order was split into two or more orders you will see two or more supplier order codes in the response (Sending was successful popup).
