Supplier to Purchasing team
Hi team,
We can send six of the eight cases Thursday.
Thursday is dispatch. Confirm arrival.
The other two are due Monday.
Confirm whether Monday is dispatch or arrival.
The price is now $38 per case.
$288 → $304 in goods. Buyer reviews the price.
Can we substitute the blue bottles for the green ones?
Confirm the product and pack before accepting.
Thanks,
Your supplier
Run the supplier workflow from the original commitment through every reply, shipment, change, and receipt.
Keep the PO number, supplier, items, quantities, pack sizes, and delivery location together. The sent order is the starting point for checking the confirmation and the delivery.
Bring supplier replies into the order context the whole buying team can use. LineNow extracts confirmations, price changes, shortages, and ETAs as reviewable updates instead of leaving them in one inbox.
The order activity view shows dated status changes, attached documents, and item updates. A confirmed-to-shipped change stays in the same history as a revised item price, so buyers can check the sequence instead of reconstructing it from emails.
The PO is not done when it is sent
For example, a 24-bottle order arrives as 16 bottles now and eight later. Keep the approved price, revised delivery date, first receipt and remaining balance on the living purchase order. If the balance is delayed, use the backorder decision guide before placing a replacement order.

We researched many PO and inventory apps that are available, most of them are 'cookie cutter' type apps that force you to be limited on what features you will have access to. Not this one. You will not be disappointed!
Before LineNow, we were spending a huge amount of time and focus simply managing the fulfillment of our products. We searched far and wide for good solutions but couldn't find anything that had the feature set we were looking for. LineNow's unique approach to automating dropshipping purchase orders has saved us countless hours and stress.
It is straightforward enough for store employees to use without extensive training
