Purchase order fields

Is there anyway to auto-populate fileds on the built in PO?
Having to retype supplier SKU and cost every single time for every single variant is just mind-boggling that it's not connected to a standardised field. 

Question asked from a none Plus store. 

I know there are tons of apps, but let's say for discussion sake we dont' want to add another app. 

Question 2, when creating a PO, shouldn't it be mailed automatically? We can't get mails out, but can't believe the idea is that we have to create a PO, download a PDF and mail it manually like it's 1999.

Hi @Zeuligan 

Unfortunately, for non-Plus stores, there’s no built-in way to auto-populate supplier SKUs and costs without using an app. So, here are some workarounds I'd recommend for you:

• Use Metafields. If your supplier SKUs and costs are stored in product/variant metafields, you might be able to reference them when generating POs (though Shopify’s PO system doesn’t pull these by default).
• Automating emails. By default, Shopify doesn’t auto-send POs to suppliers. If your store supports Shopify Flow (available on Advanced plans), you could create an automation to trigger an email when a PO is created. Otherwise, manual emailing is the current limitation.

Hope this helps 🙂

It helps a lot, thx 🙂 
yeah, advanced, so will look into sorting that with flow. Thx m8.
