A purchase order is stock you have coming in — and receiving it is what actually adds those pairs to your inventory. Where to find it: Open Purchase Orders in AIM — you will be asked to sign in first.

​
What you can do here

  • Create a purchase order listing the products, sizes, quantities, and what you paid
  • Save it as a locationless draft, allocate it across locations when needed, then send it
  • Receive pairs as they arrive — this is what adds them to your inventory
  • Find an order fast by scanning or typing its PO number

Buttons, fields, and controls

​
How to: Create a purchase order

  1. Click “New Purchase Order”.
  2. Pick the vendor; choose a location now, or leave it blank while the order is a draft.
  3. Add each product, size, quantity, and the cost you paid per pair.
  4. Save it as a draft if you’re still working on it, or send it when it’s correct.
Buying 6 pairs of Jordan 4 Bred (sizes 9–11) from “Kicks Wholesale” at $210 each — add the lines, then send the order.

​
How to: Allocate one buy across locations

  1. Open the locationless draft.
  2. Choose “Allocate to locations”.
  3. Assign every unit to a destination and review the child totals.
  4. Create the drafts, then send each location-specific PO when it is ready.
A 12-pair buy is going to two stores — allocate 7 pairs to one store and 5 to the other before sending.

​
How to: Receive a PO into inventory

  1. Open the order by clicking its row.
  2. Mark how many of each size actually showed up in the box.
  3. Confirm the receive — those pairs are now added to your inventory and ready to be priced and listed.
  4. If only some pairs arrived, the order shows as “Partially received” until the rest come in.
Your Jordan 4 Bred order arrives but one size 10 is missing — receive 5 pairs now; the order stays “Partially received” until the last pair lands.

​
How to: Open or edit a draft

  1. In the Status filter, choose “Draft” to see only unsent orders.
  2. Click the draft’s row to reopen it.
  3. Add, remove, or fix lines, then send it when it’s ready.
You started an order for Yeezy Slides last week — filter to Draft, reopen it, add the two sizes you forgot, then send.

​
How to: Find an order by its number

  1. Use the “Scan PO” box on the left.
  2. Scan the barcode on a packing slip, or type the PO number and press Enter.
  3. You jump straight to that order’s page.
A box lands with a packing slip — scan its barcode to open the matching order and start receiving.

​
Good to know

  • A draft moves no stock — nothing is added to inventory until you receive the order.
  • Receiving is the step that actually adds pairs to your inventory.
  • Click anywhere on a row to open an order; a draft opens in edit mode.
  • A row tinted orange or red is an order that’s overdue or needs attention.
