💡 In the product purchase recommendations, you get an overview of all the products that need to be ordered to meet the planning requirements. Each line in this overview corresponds to one product, allowing you to quickly and easily place an order.
💡 However, Douano also allows you to combine different lines and place bulk orders.
💡 Want to order products directly from the preferred supplier? Then use the 'Order advice products' menu.
At the top you will find 2 tabs:
Upcoming week: shows all orders that need to be placed this week.
All: shows all orders that will need to be placed in the future.
Placing a single order
💡 To confirm a suggested order, click on the green arrow on the far right. Douano will now automatically create a purchase order for this product, with the required quantities and with the correct supplier.
💡 The created purchase order is not automatically sent to the supplier. To do that, you still need to confirm and send the order under Purchase – Orders. You can review the order and make adjustments if necessary.
💡 After confirming the order under Purchase, it will no longer appear in the planning as a pending order, but as an expected delivery.
Placing bulk orders
Douano also allows you to create all required orders in bulk:
Use the filter to group suggested orders by product type, transaction type, etc.
You can then select the orders you want to confirm.
💡 You can select products that need to be ordered from different preferred suppliers. Douano will group the products into one order per supplier. Then click Create orders in the menu.
💡 The created orders are not automatically sent to the supplier. To do that, you still need to confirm and send them under Purchase – Orders. You can review, edit, or supplement the order if needed.
💡 After confirming the orders under Purchase, they will no longer appear in the planning as pending orders, but as expected deliveries.
