Order filament with a purchase order

Every colour row on the Filaments page has an orange order button. Press it to start a purchase order for that colour, or press Order all n low (next to the tabs) to start one with every colour that is low.

The purchase order popup

• Supplier: pick one, or + new supplier.
• Reference: left empty, PrintSol numbers it PO-yymm-nnn.
• Expected delivery: five days from today unless you change it.
• Lines: colour, spools, grams per spool and price per spool. A suggested number of spools is filled in; + add a colour adds a line.
• Shipping and notes (the supplier's order number, a discount code).

The totals line shows spools, kilos and the total including shipping. Press Save as draft or Save as ordered. A colour that had no supplier learns the supplier of this order.

Purchased tab

Open purchase orders are under the Purchased tab. A draft has Mark ordered and Cancel.

Receiving

When the parcel arrives, enter the shipping you paid on the order and press Received — create spools. PrintSol creates one sealed spool per ordered spool, with the landed cost per gram (price plus a share of the shipping), and the order leaves the Purchased tab.
