Buying and reordering

Creating and receiving purchase orders

Send an order to a supplier, then receive stock against it, including partial deliveries.

A purchase order records what you are buying from a supplier, and receiving it updates your Shopify stock. Miko never changes stock without showing you exactly what will happen first.

Where to find it

Open Purchase Orders from the app menu. Create one with New purchase order, or tick lines on the Buy Sheet and let it draft one per supplier.

How to set it up

The lifecycle

  1. Draft

    Create a PO from the Buy Sheet or from scratch, add lines, quantities, and unit costs.
  2. Mark as ordered

    Once you have sent it to your supplier, mark it ordered. It then shows as Ordered in your purchase order list.
  3. Receive delivery

    When stock arrives, receive it in full or in part. A preview shows the exact stock change per line and the new weighted-average cost before anything is written to Shopify. Confirm to apply.

Sending a PO to your supplier

Every plan can download a PO as a CSV and open a pre-filled email to the supplier from your own mail app. On Pro, Miko can email a branded purchase order to the supplier directly, with the CSV attached. Both email options need an email address on the supplier's card.
