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.

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. Its units now count as Incoming on the Buy Sheet.
  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.

Weighted-average costing: When you receive stock at a new unit cost, Miko updates the product's average cost so your margins and the Dead Money and Cost Guard reports stay accurate.
