Purchase Order (PO)

A purchase order is the restaurant's side of a supplier transaction: a numbered list of items, quantities and expected prices sent to a vendor before delivery, which the invoice is later checked against. In Opero, a purchase order starts as a draft built from the reorder list, grouped by the vendor you buy each ingredient from; you email it to the vendor from Opero, then receive against it when the delivery arrives, in full or in part. Purchasing is part of the Full-Service plan, and Opero's purchase orders are plain emails: no vendor portal, no PDF and no direct link into a distributor's ordering system.
