Purchase orders: order stock and receive shipments in Final
Manage in the Merchant Hub now includes a complete purchase order workflow: suppliers, POs with line items and costs, full or partial receiving, and inventory that updates itself with FIFO cost tracking.
Stock ordering just moved inside Final
If you have been managing purchase orders in a spreadsheet, or a chain of supplier emails, that is over. Purchase orders are now built into Manage in the Merchant Hub, connected to your catalog, inventory, Outlets and cost tracking.
Here is what is live.
Supplier records
Suppliers are now records in Final. Create a supplier once, save their contact details, and they are ready to select on every purchase order. No more copying email addresses from a contacts app.
Purchase orders with real cost data
Create a PO by choosing a supplier, selecting the ship-to Outlet, and adding line items with ordered quantities and unit costs. Final assigns a sequential identifier to every PO automatically (PO-0001, PO-0002 and so on), so every order is easy to reference.
From the PO detail view you can email the order to your supplier or export a formatted PDF. Your supplier gets a clean document and you never leave Final.
Receive stock in full or in batches
When a delivery arrives, open the PO and enter the quantities received per line. You do not have to receive everything at once: partial receiving is supported, so one PO can be fulfilled across several shipments.
Each receipt does three things automatically:
Updates inventory at the ship-to Outlet immediately, for every received variant
Records a FIFO cost layer for each variant using the unit cost on the PO line, so cost of goods stays accurate as supplier prices change
Updates the PO status from Sent to Partially Received to Fully Received, based on what has actually arrived
No manual stock adjustments, no separate cost entries.
A status lifecycle that tracks itself
Every PO moves through Draft, Sent, Partially Received and Fully Received, and the status updates as you work. You always know where every order stands.
What's coming next
This is Phase 1: the core ordering and receiving workflow. PO reporting, spend analytics and supplier performance dashboards are on the roadmap.
Purchase orders are available now in Manage for every merchant tracking physical inventory.
