Purchase Orders (POs) are how you request materials from your suppliers. In SureStock, you can create a PO manually or by uploading a file.
Getting started
Go to Purchasing → Purchase Orders and click Create New → New PO.
Option 1: Manual PO
Fill in the PO details:
PO Number: Leave blank to auto-generate, or enter your own.
Pickup or Delivery: Choose how the order will be fulfilled.
Ship To: Select the destination warehouse. Note: trucks won't appear here since they don't have a fixed address. You'll be able to assign materials to a truck later during reconciliation.
Job: Optionally link this PO to a specific job.
Delivery Address: If this is a delivery, you can auto-fill the address from the selected warehouse.
Required By: Set the date and time you need the materials.
Contact Name: Tag a team member to keep them in the loop.
Attachments: Upload any relevant files (e.g., technical specs) for the supplier.
Selecting your supplier
Scroll down to the Supplier section. Select Ferguson as your supplier and choose your default Ferguson account. You can also change the store or account here if needed. The system will indicate whether each address is eligible for pickup.
Adding items
Click Add Materials to select items from your catalog. Once everything looks good, click Continue to submit the PO.
Option 2: File Upload (AI-powered)
Upload an existing document, such as a supplier invoice, a packing slip, or any file that contains materials, quantities, and prices. SureStock's AI will read the file and automatically populate the PO for you.
⚠️ Important: Always review AI-generated POs before submitting. The AI is highly accurate, but a quick review ensures nothing was missed or misread.
