Definition
A purchase order (PO) is the document you send a supplier listing SKUs, quantities, prices, currency and expected dates. In replenishment tools, draft POs usually start from suggested quantities rounded to MOQ and case pack.
Worked example
Replenishment suggests 480 units; MOQ 500; case pack 20 → draft PO for 500 units in the supplier’s USD price list, PDF emailed after you confirm.
Why it matters for replenishment
Without POs tied to forecasts, buying becomes chat threads and spreadsheets that never update stock-on-order.
How OmniRestock uses this
OmniRestock creates one draft PO per supplier from approved replenishment lines, in that supplier’s currency, with MOQ and case-pack rounding. Drafts and supplier emails are never sent without your confirmation.
