Two options for Purchase Order matching
There are two ways to match the products you are storing in Pio with a PO. Either select the PO first (you can search for the PO number, or find it in the list at the bottom of the screen by selecting 'Purchase Orders'. Use the selected PO to store all the received items.
Alternatively, scan or search for an SKU first, and if the SKU exist on an open PO, you will be asked if you would like to match it with this. This article will guide you through how to use both options.
Select Purchase Order and store SKU
Select the 'Store' button from the homescreen to start a new storing session, and then select the designated location for the products you are storing. It could be any available bin layout or a shelf location.
If any open purchase orders exist, they will be listed at the bottom of the 'Store' screen.
Select 'Purchase Orders' and find the PO for the products you are storing in Pio.
The selected PO will list available SKUs to store, and a separate tab lists all previously stored items for this PO.
The next step is to select the SKU to store. Either scroll and select the SKU as listed on the screen, or use the barcode scanner to locate the correct product you are storing.
When you have stored one of the products from the PO, you are sent back to the purchase order list to select the next item to store.
We recommend to always use the barcode scanner when storing and picking with Pio.
Search SKU and match with Purchase Order
Select 'Store' from Pio homescreen and choose the location to store the products in. Scan the barcode or search for the product and select the SKU. Pio app lists the open purchase orders for this SKU if they exist.
Select the PO to match the product with it. The storing screen will show the purchase order number in the header, and also the expected number of items will show in the top right corner of the product image.
Scan each item to store to count them, or tap the number field to enter the quantity directly. Selecting 'Next' will add the products to the inventory in Pio and take you back to the product search screen to find the next SKU to store.
