Creating Purchase Orders & Managing Vendor Info on StyleRow

TL;DR

The long-awaited StyleRow POs are live! 🎉 Try them out by following the directions written below or in the video tutorial linked here and let us know what you think at product@stylerow.com

What are StyleRow Purchase Orders?

After this April 17, 2023 release, you can export all the documents relevant to the design process in one platform. Our purchase order PDFs are elegant, refined, and beautifully branded with your design company information and logo and stored in both the brand new Vendor View tab, as well as the Budget. Check out how to create them below, or follow along in a more detailed tutorial here.

Step 1: Prep your items for export

Details you may want to fill out or edit on the Vendor View are:

Item name
Vendor-facing description
Vendor Contact Name*
Vendor Contact Phone*
Vendor Contact Email*
Dimensions
COM
SKU
Sidemark
Tax paid to vendor
Deposit %
Other customizations on cost calculations

*Note that any updates made to a Vendor’s contact info will be updated for all items with that Vendor. If you’d like to enter a Vendor with multiple contacts, we suggest you create a new entry for the Vendor with the new contact. (e.g. Hellman-Chang – West; Hellman-Chang – East)”

Step 2: Start the PO

Once your items are filled out and prepped, navigate to the “Export” dropdown at the top right of the Project or Budget. Select “Create PO.” 

Then, select the Vendor you would like to create the PO for. You may add an Account Number if applicable for the Vendor–this Account Number will save for the Vendor after the first export. 

Hit “Continue” to go on to the next step.

Step 3: Select the items that you want to order

On this step, select the items you want to include on the PO. This list should be filtered to only the items associated with the Vendor you chose in the previous step. However, if you’d like to see the full list of items in the Project, you can select “All Items” at the top right of the list.

Once you’re done selecting items, hit “Continue.”

Step 4: Fill out Vendor & Ship To Address Info

Fill out the Vendor Address and Ship To Address, if relevant. These are not required for PO creation, but highly recommended. Like the Account Number, the Vendor Address will be remembered for a particular Vendor after the first PO. You can still edit it by PO if you wish.

Both the Project and Receiver Address options for Ship To Address can be filled out in the Project’s Settings > Address Info page. Like Vendor Address, you will still be able to edit the Project or Receiver Address by PO.

Once you are ready to move on, hit “Create PO.”

You Need the StyleRow Product Clipper — STAT!

When was the last time you had to hunt through your browsing history, bookmarks, or worse–look through an entire brand catalog again for a product you sourced weeks or months ago?

We’ve got good news for you: with the StyleRow Product Clipper, you can say goodbye to that tedious process of re-sourcing products you’ve already spent time on forever. 

What it is and what it does

The StyleRow Product Clipper was built to be your diligent digital assistant while sourcing from your favorite brands and vendors online. It copies item photos and records prices, lead times, dimensions, specifications, and any other notes, saving them directly into your categorized StyleRow Product Library. 

What’s more, you can select rooms and projects you’ve created in StyleRow to save specific items to if you’re sourcing for a particular project, or create mood boards quickly by clipping inspiration photos to custom StyleRow Inspiration Boards. 

But what if you absolutely need to revisit a product’s webpage? The Product Clipper’s got your back on that, too–it’ll automatically store the link to the product page for every item you save so that you can always check the source.

So, is it basically your own personal design catalog? Yes. Is it giving you time back on grunt work so you can be your best creative self? Yes. And most importantly? The StyleRow Product Clipper is completely free with our StyleRow Basic Plan (also free).

Start the New Year Right: Handle Tax & Shipping Costs in StyleRow

Great news – you can now track tax and shipping by line item in StyleRow! You’ll find the tax and shipping fields in both the Project and in the Budget view.

What you can customize:

  • Tax percentages per line item
  • Shipping markup and shipping tax percentages per line item
  • Client visibility of tax or shipping costs per item

Note that any tax and shipping fees you’ve previously added to the Projecet Fees section of a Budget will be preserved, but we will no longer support adding new tax and shipping fees in that section, as it’s now being done per line item.

Happy designing!
