Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to checkout our user guide! Within these hallowed pages, you'll find answers to the questions that have been boggling the minds of men since time immemorial...or, at least, since we've released this app.

AdVision worked in collaboration with Lightspeed Retail to develop this application to improve your purchase order management tasks. That means this app works with your Lightspeed Retail account, importing data from it and exporting orders (and inventory transfers) to it, allowing you more time to run your business (or drink coffee, read a good book, take your dog/cat/goldfish for a walk).

What follows is our best attempt to provide you with an understanding of the intended workflow for creating, sending and receiving purchase orders through this app*.

You'll notice we refer to it as "this app", "the app", "our app" and "Enhanced PO" interchangably throughout this guide. However, a rose by any other name... (i.e. whatever we call it, it all means the same thing: the Super-duper Purchase Order Enhanced Management application)

What's in this guide?

We'll start off with some basics, covering:

• The intended purchase order workflow
• How to register for and login to your Enhanced PO account (i.e. I want to start using this thing already!)
• Steps for setting up your account, including prepping your Retail data, syncing that data from Retail into the app, ensuring vendors details are filled out, and more...

After we've gotten you through the basics, then we dive into the nitty-gritty, outlining how to:

• Create your first, and future, purchase orders, either within the app interface or via spreadsheet imports
• Adding items to a purchase order
• Managing, and modifying purchase orders you've created within the app
• Sending orders from and receiving orders within the app

That will get you up-to-date on the basic actions of the app, so next we'll dig into settings that can give you increased flexibilty in how you use the Enhanced PO system, including:

• General system settings
• SMTP - for outgoing email (sent from) the app
• Catalog data you can modify within the app (Products, Vendors, Shops (Locations), Terms, and Shipping Codes & Methods)

And finally, for you AP students, we'll discuss:

• The Dashboard (screen you see when first logging in)
• Frequently Asked Questions
• The customization process (i.e. "I want the app to do this because it would be awesome, how about it, AdVision?")
