Purchase orders for the blanks your print shop needs

Order exactly the blanks your jobs are missing. We split them into a purchase order per supplier, ready to send.

The New purchase order page: a tab each for SanMar, No supplier and S&S Activewear, the SanMar lines by product, color and size with a quantity and unit cost, and a Create 3 purchase orders button

Short sizes, spotted early

Before you buy, we gather every order still waiting on blanks. No more finding a missing size the morning of the run.

The Add items dialog on its Needs purchasing tab: short order lines from S&S Activewear and SanMar, each style and color with its sizes ready to select

First ordered, first filled. The customers who ordered first get their gear first.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create purchase orders for several suppliers at once?

Yes. Items you add are sorted into one draft tab per supplier, plus an extra tab for anything without one. One click creates every purchase order on the page.

Is a purchase order tied to a specific customer order?

No. Purchase orders are matched to orders by SKU, color and size. When stock arrives it goes to the oldest waiting orders first, and anything left over stays on hand.

Can I receive part of a purchase order?

Yes. Enter the quantity received on each line and the purchase order shows as partially received until the rest arrives. The purchase order won't accept more than you ordered.

What if I order blanks I already have?

When you start a purchase order from orders, Itemstores tells you which items are already in stock or already on an open purchase order, and one click trims the excess quantity off.

Where do the unit costs come from?

For blanks imported from a synced supplier catalog, the supplier's piece price fills in the unit cost. Change it on any line before you create the purchase order.

Can I send a purchase order to my supplier?

Download each purchase order as a PDF to send. Itemstores doesn't place the order with the supplier for you.
