Mo handles supplier selection, quantity calculations, and linking to your plans automatically. {% endhint %} ## What is Purchase Order Management with Mo? **Purchase Orders with Mo** lets you create, edit, and manage purchase orders through natural conversation instead of manual data entry. Whether you're generating orders from a production plan or building a custom PO, Mo handles the complexity — from supplier selection to multi-item orders — so you can place orders faster and with fewer errors. ### What Mo Can Do * **Generate POs from production plans** — Mo analyzes your plan, handles multi-supplier scenarios, and creates one PO per supplier automatically * **Create custom purchase orders** — Describe what you need in plain language and Mo builds the full PO with all required fields * **Update existing POs** — Change suppliers, delivery dates, status, or PO numbers conversationally * **Edit line items** — Add new items, update quantities and costs, or remove items from existing POs * **Handle incomplete orders** — Create POs when suppliers aren't assigned yet and fill in details later * **Work within budget constraints** — Tell Mo your spending limit and Mo prioritizes the most critical inventory needs ### Key Benefits * **Faster order creation:** Generate multiple POs in 2 minutes instead of 20 * **Smart supplier handling:** Mo automatically analyzes supplier options and asks when choices are needed * **Context-aware:** When viewing a production plan, Mo knows your quantities and suggests orders based on what's in the plan * **Error reduction:** Mo validates SKUs, suppliers, and warehouses against your Moselle data before creating orders * **Auto-linking:** POs generated from production plans are automatically linked for easy tracking ## How Purchase Orders with Mo Works ### Generate from Production Plan The fastest way to create orders is from an existing production plan: 1. **Open your production plan** and click "Generate Orders" or ask Mo to create orders 2. **Select months** — Mo asks which months you want to order for 3. **Handle multi-supplier items** — If items can come from multiple suppliers, Mo asks you to choose 4. **Review summary** — Mo shows what will be created before generating 5. **Orders created** — One PO per supplier, automatically linked to your plan ### Create Custom PO For one-off orders or custom scenarios: 1. **Describe what you need** — "Create a PO for 200 units of SKU-ABC from Acme Corp, deliver by March 15th" 2. **Mo builds the PO** — All fields populated based on your Moselle data 3. **Review and refine** — Ask Mo to adjust quantities, dates, or suppliers before finalizing 4. **Export and send** — Download as PDF or Excel to send to your supplier ### Update Existing Orders Mo can modify purchase orders after they're created: * **PO details:** "Change the delivery date on PO-9704 to June 15th" * **Line items:** "Add 100 units of SKU-123 to PO-9704" * **Status:** "Mark PO-9704 as ordered" ## Common Use Cases ### Budget-Constrained Ordering Tell Mo your spending limit and Mo builds a PO that fits within budget: **Example:** "I have $5,000 to spend with Acme Corp — what should I order?" Mo allocates your budget across high-priority SKUs based on stockout risk and demand. ### Multi-Supplier Management When generating from a production plan, Mo handles items available from multiple suppliers: 1. Mo identifies items with supplier options 2. Shows pricing for each supplier 3. Asks you to choose for each item 4. Groups items and creates one PO per supplier ### Incomplete Purchase Orders Create orders when supplier details aren't finalized: **Example:** "Create a PO for SKU-NEW-001 (500 units), no supplier assigned yet, delivery by Q3" Mo creates the PO with all details except supplier, flagged for later completion. ## Prerequisites **Time Required:** 1–5 minutes per order (depending on complexity) **Difficulty:** Beginner Before you begin, make sure you have: * [ ] An active Moselle account with Mo credits available * [ ] Suppliers configured in your Suppliers section * [ ] Items in your catalog with supplier pricing (for production plan generation) * [ ] A production plan (if generating from plan) or clear order requirements ## Tips for Working with Mo * **Be specific upfront:** Include supplier, warehouse, delivery date, currency, and SKUs in your first prompt * **Use exact names:** Supplier and warehouse names must match what's in Moselle * **Iterate don't restart:** If Mo's first draft isn't right, correct it in the same conversation * **Ask "what if":** Mo can model changes before committing — "What happens if I reduce this order by 20%?" * **Save common prompts:** If you create similar POs regularly, save your prompt for reuse ## Related Guides {% content-ref url="/pages/RjoikPkwhOLfvtx8j6VZ" %} [Create an Order](/planning-and-execution/orders/create-an-order.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/UJBeJZb1fZD3mCfSbojq" %} [Review your Order](/planning-and-execution/orders/review-your-order.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/c3H9nIfH0qdJQffJKIWc" %} [Generate Orders](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/generate-orders.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
