Supplier-Specific PO CSV Exports

Some suppliers require purchase orders in a specific CSV format.

BackstockOps supports supplier-specific PO CSV export layouts so each supplier can receive the columns they expect.

Steps To Configure A Supplier CSV Layout

1. Open BackstockOps from Shopify Admin.
2. Go to Suppliers.
3. Open the supplier that requires a specific purchase order CSV format.
4. Find the PO CSV layout area.
5. Add the first CSV column required by the supplier.
6. Enter the column name exactly as the supplier expects it.
7. Choose the BackstockOps source field that should populate that column.
8. Repeat for each required column.
9. Put the columns in the order required by the supplier.
10. Save the layout.
11. Export a test purchase order CSV.
12. Review the file before sending it to the supplier.

What You Can Configure

For each supplier, define the CSV columns that should appear when a purchase order is exported.

Each column maps to a BackstockOps source field, such as:

• purchase order number,
• supplier SKU,
• Shopify SKU,
• product title,
• variant title,
• quantity,
• supplier cost.

Best Practices

• Configure CSV layouts separately for each supplier.
• Match the supplier's required column names exactly.
• Send a test CSV to the supplier before relying on the format for live purchasing.
