Stock Orders

Stock Orders is the single list of everything coming into your inventory — both purchase orders (buying styles from a vendor) and production orders (making your own designs). Each row is badged Purchase or Production so you can tell them apart at a glance. Narrow the list by searching an order or style number, by All / Open / Closed, by type, or by a date range.

Each row opens its own detail page, which keeps its native flow:

• Purchase order → record the shipment as it arrives, then add the received pieces to inventory and tag them.
• Production order → track build stages and close it out; finished pieces become inventory.

Both of those steps are optional. If you only ever use the ordering half — raising an order to track what’s coming, and handling the goods yourself — the Received column simply shows —, not “0 of 6”. An order run that way is complete, not outstanding.

Creating an order

From here: click + New Order. That opens an empty order and you build it up line by line — type or scan a style number, browse your catalog, or add a one-off item that isn’t in the catalog at all. See Purchase Orders for how line entry works.

From the Style Catalog: tick one or more styles, then Reorder or Reproduce. Reorder puts each one on a single new purchase order at quantity 1; Reproduce starts one production job per design. Both create a draft and open it, so quantities, vendor and dates are still yours to set before anything is sent.

Two things worth knowing about that shortcut:

• Reproduce only lights up for your own house designs — building someone else’s vendor style on your bench isn’t a thing. Reorder has no such limit: a house design goes on a purchase order whenever the casting is outsourced.

Whichever way a piece is made, it carries its style number so you can always trace it back to the design.
