Add items to a purchase order in Dutchie POS

Purchase Orders allow you to create inventory orders from suppliers, email them to vendors, and make inventory packages. This article shows how to add items to a purchase order.

Things to consider

  • Additional features are required to perform this action. 
  • You need to create a purchase order before you can add items to it.
  • Purchase orders are intended for stores not integrated with a state reporting system such as Metrc or BioTrack.

  2. Select the purchase order you want to add an item to. 
  3. Click the Add items button on the purchase order.
  4. Fill in the fields in the Receive Details window. The Product and Requested Quantity fields are required.

Add items by upload

  1. Select the purchase order you want to add an item to. 
  2. Click the Actions dropdown and select Upload Items.
  3. Select a CSV file from your computer to upload. The file requirements are:
    • Use these exact column headers:
      • ProductName
      • SKU
      • Quantity
      • Unit
      • Subtotal
    • The Unit column must contain a unit-type string (e.g., qty, g, l, oz), not a numeric value. Values like "Each", "each", or "ea" also return errors; use "qty" only.
    • The file must be saved as "Comma Separated Values (.csv)" in Excel, not "CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited)." If you see an "Error parsing value 0" or other parsing error message, it is most likely because the file was not saved in "Comma Separated Values (.csv)" format.
    • A downloadable template file is attached to the bottom of this article.
