Purchasing

Purchasing brings together the flowers and hard goods you need to buy for several events and retail plans. Instead of adding up each recipe yourself, choose a date range, review the combined quantities, and prepare purchase orders for your wholesalers.

The Create & Manage Orders tab connects those buying requirements to the recipes that need them. In this example, the retrieved event has populated flower and hard-good requirements.

Buying requirements and purchase orders

The planning summary answers how much your recipes need. A purchase order records what you intend to buy from a particular vendor, including quantities, prices, and delivery date. These amounts can differ: you might need 36 stems but buy four bunches of ten.

Use Orders to find saved purchase orders, and Vendors to manage your favorite wholesalers and default location. A single purchase order can be associated with more than one event or retail plan.

Creating a purchase order in FlowerBuddy does not send it to the wholesaler or pay for it. Copy the order and arrange the purchase with your supplier separately, then keep its status up to date.

For ordering within one event, see the event's Order tab.
