Adding line items
Add line items by product search, CSV import (full or SKU-only rows), or by importing from a Shopify order.
Adding line items
PO Flow gives you three ways to add line items to a PO, each suited to a different starting point.
Product search
The fastest path for adding a few items by hand:
- In the PO line items table, start typing in the product search field.
- Pick a product or variant from the live results.
- Set the quantity. Unit cost auto-fills from the variant's inventory unit cost where available.
CSV import
Use CSV import when you have line items in a spreadsheet:
- Click Import from CSV to open the import modal.
- Optionally click Download sample CSV template to see the column layout.
- Upload your CSV. Two formats are supported — a full format with product_title, sku, quantity, unit_cost, and an SKU-only format with sku, quantity. SKU-only rows look up product details and cost from Shopify automatically.
- Review the preview. Errors and warnings appear inline.
- Click Import to replace the PO line items with the parsed rows.
Import from a Shopify order
Available on Growth and Pro plans. From the Purchase Orders index, click Import order from Shopify to turn a Shopify order's line items into one or more draft POs grouped by supplier. See the Importing a PO from a Shopify order article for the full flow.
