Overview:
FlowPO lets you save a product’s cost price as quoted by each supplier. When you create a purchase order for that supplier, FlowPO fills in the supplier’s price automatically instead of the cost price set in Shopify.
Description:
By default, FlowPO uses the cost price saved on the product in Shopify when you add the product to a purchase order. If a supplier charges a different price, you can save it in the Supplier Price List.
How it works:
-
Open the supplier. In FlowPO, go to Suppliers and open the supplier you want to set prices for.
-
Turn on the price list. Select the option “Supplier has its own price list” and click Save.
-
Assign product costs. Open Manage Products inside the same supplier and enter the cost price for each product.
-
Create a purchase order. When you create a PO for this supplier and add these products, the supplier’s cost price fills in automatically. The cost price from Shopify is not used.
Things to keep in mind:
-
Each supplier keeps its own prices, so the same product can have a different price for each supplier.
-
If a product has no price saved for the selected supplier, FlowPO uses the cost price from Shopify.
-
The Supplier Price List does not change the cost price stored in Shopify.
Benefits:
-
Purchase orders match supplier quotes, so there are fewer manual changes.
-
PO totals are more accurate and easier to match against supplier invoices.
