  3. Click the Purchase button and Direct Ship Purchasing.
  4. Click the checkboxes of the product you want to purchase.
  5. If you want to select all product lines, click Select All Lines to mark all checkboxes automatically.
  6. Click the Create New PO button to create a new Direct Ship Purchase Order. Click Go.
  7. A Direct Ship Purchase Order screen opens. All checked products appear in the bottom product grid.

Troubleshooting & Tips:

  • From Sales Order Shipping, ship Direct Ship quanitities for a specific Sales Order product line. If the SO line has more than one DS PO attached, Envio will ask which one to process.
  • If you add product from inventory to a Sales Order that includes a Direct Ship Purchase Order, and if you use the Ship All DS PO button to ship, the Sales order will be market as Shipped, even if the tags from your inventory have not yet been allocated. This may affect Salesboard(s) and Inventory.
  • There are multiple places to ship a Direct PO from. You can ship from a Direct Ship Purchase Order Receipt, however it is only created after the DS PO has shipped, and therefore is not a preferred method of shipping.
