Reorder low stock and receive purchase orders

WaterMark can draft a purchase order for everything that's below its reorder point, email it to your vendor, and then add the goods to stock when they arrive. Nothing is added to your counts until you receive it.

Where: Manage company -> Catalog & forms -> Inventory -> Purchase orders / Vendors

  1. First add your suppliers: in the Inventory screen's Vendors section click "+ Add vendor" and enter a name and an email (the email is what lets you send POs). Save.
  2. Click "Auto-reorder low stock." WaterMark drafts one purchase order from every item under its reorder point. This is a draft only - it does not change your stock yet.
  3. Review the draft in the Purchase orders list. To email it, click Send on that PO - it goes to the vendor's email on file (the app only reports it sent when the email actually goes through).
  4. Use Print for a paper or PDF copy of the order.
  5. When the order physically arrives, click Receive… on the PO. Enter the quantity actually delivered on each line, then "Receive entered," or click "Receive all" to receive every line in full.
  6. Receiving adds those quantities to on-hand and records it in the stock movement log. A partly-filled order shows a "partial" badge so you can receive the rest later.
Good to know
  • Receiving is a deliberate step on purpose - the app never blind-adds an order to stock, so your counts always match what really showed up.
  • A PO won't send until its vendor has an email on file. If Send says no email, edit the vendor, add one, and re-draft.
  • Over-receiving is clamped to what was ordered so you can't accidentally inflate a count.
