Updated over a week ago

New feature

Purchase Orders are now available!

Whip Around users can now create a Purchase Order to add items to inventory

This new feature allows users to submit requests and get approvals internally to avoid duplicate or unnecessary orders. You can also use status labels to keep track of in-process inventory and help reduce missing orders.

By automatically updating your inventory when a purchase order is marked as received, you can keep inventory numbers accurate. This also allows managers to stay organized by maintaining a digital record of purchase orders for internal bookkeeping.
