Can I split one customer line between purchase orders?

In the appPurchasingUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

Yes. Lower Quantity in the vendor card to buy part of the line now, then create that draft.

Reopen Create PO later to buy the remaining quantity from the same vendor. Manage PO lists each allocation.

Draft and active POs reserve their quantities, so check existing allocations before creating another purchase.

What is the difference between options and order fields?

Options describe a product line and can add to its price; order fields collect information once for the whole quote or order. Fabric belongs on the Linden Sofa line, while Delivery floor belongs to the order.

Order fields never change the price. Options and order fields share one internal-name list, so each name can be used only once.

Does lead time print on the quote or the purchase order?

No. OrderPilot's calculated lead times do not appear on quote PDFs or purchase orders.

The full order calculation is shown in the app, and is also absent from POS, emails and the customer portal. A template's slowest option lead time can appear online when Show lead time is on.

Do vendor minimums stop me creating a purchase order?

No. You can save a draft purchase order below the vendor's minimum. An enforced minimum blocks sending until the quantity or value is met; an unenforced minimum gives a warning.

Minimums are checked per purchase order. An enforced value minimum also blocks sending when an item's cost is unknown.

What is the difference between the OrderPilot app and the POS extension?

OrderPilot in Shopify admin handles store setup and back-office work, while its Shopify POS tiles handle showroom sales. Both use the same quotes and orders. Staff can create quotes, take payments and deposits, collect signatures and print receipts on POS; Settings live in the app inside Shopify admin.
